1 form Binawee Samantha Saunders , 2008 single work film/TV 'Set in 1945, Victoria, "Binawee", tells a story of the delicate balance one life can exert upon another. The story opens at an Aboriginal mission in Queensland, a kind of reformatory where the crime is being black. But it’s the only home Binawee, a fifteen year old Aboriginal girl, has ever known. Her life changes abruptly when she is sent to work as a domestic servant in a white household in Victoria. After a chance encounter with a senile wealthy white matron and deaf and dumb white man, she finds an unusual connection with lonely 10 year old grandson, Benjamin. Despite the chasm of class and race that separates them, the two find a way to reach out to each other and in doing so find the courage to cope with their difficult lives.'
