Genocide in the Wildflower State is a documentary about a violent, state-run system of eugenics, racial absorption, and social assimilation in 20th century Western Australia. Genocide in the Wildflower State is a 59 minute documentary about a violent, state-run system of eugenics, racial absorption, and social assimilation in 20th century Western Australia. For the more than six decades between 19

05 and 1970, thousands of Aboriginal children in Western Australia were forcibly removed from their families. Systematically organised by the State, overwhelmingly supported by West Australian society, generation after generation, for over sixty years — the State worked to destroy Aboriginal families, culture, and language, for the purpose of securing white, settler dominance. In 1997 a National Inquiry called this for what it was — Genocide.

‘Stolen Generation’ Survivors give vivid and at times heartbreaking testimony of cruel isolation, abuse and humiliation in the system. Genocide in the Wildflower State is truth telling and a demand for justice. It holds to account successive parliaments in Western Australia that have failed to make redress. It is about helping to heal the trauma in the Survivor community, and building understanding in broader society. Contact for further information on the documentary screenings.
