Brian Butlerâs grandmother was taken from her family by government officials in 1910. She was 12 years old. Twenty years later her daughter, Brianâs mother, was taken.Thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, like Brian Butlerâs, have been coping with the impact of child removal for more than a century. 'Sorry and Beyond' describes the growth of the grassroots movement that exposed the truth about Australiaâs removal policies and worked for healing and justice.Born in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, the movement was joined by nearly a million non-Indigenous Australians in the Sorry Day and Journey of Healing campaigns, which paved the way for the Australian Parliamentâs unanimous apology in 2008.As these campaigns have shown, community initiatives have played a vital part in overcoming the immense damage done. The journey isnât over. 'Sorry and Beyond' is a call to continue the work of healing this national trauma.
