The national apology to Aboriginal Australians and the Stolen Generations, recognizing their "profound grief, suffering, and loss," was delivered by former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on February 13, 2008. On that historic day, thousands of Aboriginal Australians convened in Canberra to witness the apology, which was broadcast nationwide.

 

The movie screening will commence at 7:00 PM at the Youth Cultural House, located at No. 4 Pham Ngoc Thach Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.
