Loss and Connection (film)





Sofie and Cris worked together to making this film which tells Sofie’s story of being adopted as a baby from her Aboriginal family. Sofie shares how she is crafting connection and breaking the silence of Loss and Grief.

Our group consists of members who have diverse experiences, including people adopted at birth, or after institutionalisation or foster care; people who knew they were adopted from an early age and others who were ‘late discoverers’.
 


The founders of the group are from the ‘Forced Adoption’ era, and cover a broad range of life experiences.

Last week I did a radio interview with Fiona from ACH, about making the film.  My interview starts at 11.20mins.  And Ross Womersley from SACOSS spoke about it after some music at 32.29mins.
