'Doris Pilkington discusses how she researched and wrote her first three books, Caprice (1991), Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence (1996) and Under the Wintamarra Tree (2002) and the impetus behind them. She talks about the making and the impact of Philip Noyce’s film Rabbit Proof Fence. Her main topic is the Stolen Generations, and her own experience of growing up in Moore River Mission and Roelands Mission. She discusses the impact of child removal on her own family and the continuing legacy of this experience generally in Aboriginal families and communities. She talks about the Journey of Healing and the role that spirituality (which has developed for her from the interaction of Christianity and indigenous spirituality) has played in her own life.'
