Night Cries

1990

Night Cries: A Rural Tragedy (1989) is a short experimental film by the esteemed Aboriginal Australian artist, Tracey Moffatt.

In the film, an Aboriginal daughter (Marcia Langton) is caring for her dying white mother (Agnes Hardwick).

The film was written and directed by Tracey Moffatt and shot entirely in a studio.

It was promoted as a possible sequel to Jedda (1955) which was written, produced and directed by Charles Chauvel and which tells the story of an Aboriginal child taken in by a white woman and separated from her own people and culture.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
