1. The man talking in the documentary was comparing the commandments or preachings from the Bible to the stuff the invaders were actually doing.
2. The taking away of the children was emphasised on a lot.
3. He was describing the beauty of Aboriginal culture and living.
4. He spoke of the things that were most important to him like his family, culture and land.
5. He spoke of what they and their families faced after they were separated.
6. Also the difference in opinions of the Aboriginal people and the Europeans.

Black and white film was used as maybe the picture was really old/ to give it the old feeling that this happened many years ago. Giving it the old feeling was to impact the viewer more and to show that these things began happening many years ago.

Bob Randall is a famous Aboriginal activist and is part of the stolen generation. He was interviewed as he being a part of the stolen generation would say exactly what was happening from a victims point of view.

Being in Bob Randall’s place and being a witness to the injustices that happened would make me feel really upset and angry toward what has been done to the Aboriginal people.
