The Stolen Earth

also further emphasised through the differences in each of the areas and how it affects women in the programme. Both Star Trek: Voyager and The Sarah Jane Adventures can be related to the debates of feminism, as has been explained throughout, because it is a strong issue within their representation through science fiction history. An example of this can be Doctor Who, it has always had a male doctor which has never changed. In recent years speculations of a female doctor have come around but has never happened because to change the gender so far on would confuse the already fan made audience. This, however, helped The Sarah Jane Adventures because having a female lead made it fresh and somewhat different. Due to her originally being from earth, it worked better as a leading on narrative from her Doctor Who presence she had made. Star Trek: Voyager however it took ‘two decades of reassessment of science before a woman could be presented as a captain and scientist’ (Helford. 210) so when the chance arrived for the series to take a new turn and to satisfy the needs of feminism that hadn 't been done before, it took the opportunity and I believe that for this screening for the BFI it helps to encapsulate what a woman can do in a man 's role. Whether is be seen as critically bad or good it makes a statement which is frequently discussed. When viewing each of these episodes and further programmes, I want it to be understood mainly in relation to gender but also how they are…

The effects of the plot of the stolen generations. During the years between 1905 and 1969 aboriginal and Torres strait islander children were forcibly taken from their families and put in government institutions or missions where many were abused mentally, physically and sexually. Poor living conditions were also common, and most children grew up almost entirely without affection or knowing that their parents even existed. This resulted in one of the biggest losses of culture in human history,…

And, not just because of this move, they should immediately say "Sorry!" along with, and on behalf of, the rest of us.' Did the film have an affect on you personally? Ie.)

the loss of my loved ones, where everyone in Australia says sorry. February 13th 2008, a day that is sure to go down in history being the first of hopefully many days where everyone that has wronged us can apologise. It is difficult, trying to forgive for all of the horrible things they have done, and are still doing. Around 10 years ago I used a company to try find my siblings and biological parents, I had no memory of my aboriginal name so nothing came up. I pray that all of my family are…

This is further backed by the animal’s national flag being a plethora of arrows deviating from a single point, supporting the Rabbits’ role as vehement expansionists. In addition, the quote “…they stole our children,” appears within the book, which serves as a direct reference to the Stolen Generation, a devious act conducted by the British government to “destroy the native, but save the man.” The novel serves as an ever-evolving recount of Australia’s journey in history, which both arouse and…

From 1910-1970, many Indigenous children were taken from their biological families, because of government policies. The traumatic experience of the children from that generation continues to have an impact on Indigenous communities, families and individuals. These children are known as the Stolen Generation. The Stolen Generation had been seized from their biological families, and wrongly told that their parents had either abandoned them or died. The children were never told about who their real…

“Stop and put your hands where I can see them!” The officer hollows as he continues running after the boy, who has the stolen loaf of bread cradled in his arm like a running back running a football. Donny bolts through the busy sidewalks filled with people. The officer continues behind him and radios in but is slowly losing track. “We have a 10-43 requesting backup on Yawkey way.” Donny has a 100 foot gap on the enervated officer. Donny reaches the street corner and makes the split-second…

My initial reaction when I learned about the ‘Stolen Generation’ was absolute shock. I began to analyse and question myself why I was so shocked. I found several reasons, this includes: (1) my lack of knowledge; (2) I am an immigrant; (3) my early education was from the Philippines; (4) the early information I have for Indigenous Australians is based on what I have been told by my sister and her white Australian husband; (5) my own prejudice and bias towards Indigenous Australians. Firstly,…
