'In this captivating, perplexing portrait of her mother, Dora Bialestock, filmmaker Rivka Hartman explores the wildly contradictory nature of this well-known Melbourne figure. Several inches less than five feet tall, she was a tiny dynamo, an awesome intellectual and an original thinker. A world renowned pathologist, she also campaigned tirelessly in the 1960s and early 70s for the Victorian Government to recognise the extent of child abuse in the community at a time when people refused to acknowledge that it even occurred. She also championed the development of good, freely available childcare.'
