25th anniversary of National Sorry Day marked across Australia

Published
Indigenous elders are calling for the next generation of Australians to ensure the Stolen Generations never happens again. On the 25th anniversary of National Sorry Day, survivors and descendants gathered at nationwide events to reflect. They spoke about the ongoing trauma and loss left by a government policy which, for decades, forcibly removed Indigenous children from their families. A warning to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers - this story contains images of people who have died.
