CALL ME MUM (Margot Nash, 2006, 76 mins)
Q&A with Margot Nash (director), Kathleen Mary Fallon (writer)
and Michael McMahon (producer), moderated by Chris Luscri.
When Kate decides to reunite her Torres Strait Islander foster son with his birth mother, dangerous family and racial tensions surface.
Margot Nash’s Call Me Mum is a critical work of mid-2000s Australian independent cinema, made at a time when our wholesale cultural reckoning with the legacy of the Stolen Generations was beginning to reach critical mass. (Chris Luscri)
