CRY FROM THE HEART is the personal journey of an Australian Aboriginal family who suffered terrible trauma, grief and loss through the policy of forcible separation from their families. Chris Edwards-Haines, an Aboriginal man born in 1967, was removed from his mother Alice when he was only nine months old and adopted by a white family. His mother Alice had also been taken from her family as a young girl and grew up in a girls' home. With open hearts and extraordinary courage the family tell the story of 'the stolen generation'.
