Join us for a FREE screening of Who Would You Tell? a feature documentary film at the prestigious New South Wales Parliament House.
📅 Date: TO BE CONFIRMED
🕥 Time: TO BE CONFIRMED
📍 Location: NSW Parliament House
With the promise of a better future in a foreign land, Who Would You Tell? tells the story of three Maltese brothers separated from their destitute family at a young age and sent to Tardun, Western Australia, under the child migration scheme. What was meant to be a second chance turned into a lifetime of regret, pain, and missed opportunities that shaped their journey to adulthood.
Fifty years on, Raphael, Peter, and Manny reflect on their stolen childhoods and the profound impact of the sexual, emotional, and physical abuse they endured. Through interviews and archival materials, the documentary delves into their memories of abuse, homesickness, and severed family ties, exposing the historic failures of a scheme backed by two governments and the broken promises of the Catholic organisation that received them.
Following its premiere in Malta in 2023 and recent win at the German International Film Festival 2024, Fish Isle Films is thrilled to bring Who Would You Tell? to a NSW audience.
Stay after the screening for a Q&A session with the filmmakers.
