"Truth" takes you on an evocative journey through Aunty Kathy's life in Brewarrina, where the past is ever-present, and the future demands change. Her words cut through centuries of silence: "That's why this story has to be told, because this is real." This documentary is not just about history; it's about the echoes of 200 years of trauma still reverberating in the lives of Aboriginal people today. It's about the unyielding spirit of a woman and her family who embody resilience and hope. As Aunty Kathy walks us through her roots, she shines a light on the ongoing struggle for treaty-making, truth-telling, and reconciliation. "Truth" is a call to action. It's about understanding our history, educating ourselves, and tackling racism head-on. It's about the connections we forge, the respect we must cultivate, and the actions we must take. In a world desperate for healing, Kathy's story reminds us that reconciliation isn't just necessary-it's overdue. Written by
