BLACK WATTLE
SYNOPSIS: History does not disappear, it follows us... Saint Augustine said, "The dead are invisible, not absent." We carry the genes, the cul. In 1924, Alice tells a terrible lie to reinvent herself, seeking refuge in the ill-fated Western Australian Group Settlement Scheme. But the past is not so easily erased. As she struggles to forget, fear silences her, and history leaves her behind.
