The story of Coral, an Aboriginal woman with a remarkable history. At the age of only a few months, she was taken from her family and sent to a home, where she was raised as a white person. It would be 30 years before she discovered her true heritage - a discovery which led her to set up a tracing service to reunite Aborigines with their families.
Krissy is a punk, a street-wise woman in her early twenties, determined to make her own way, following an unhappy childhood. Her anger saw her involved in street marches and clashes with authority as a teenager, now she expresses herself by writing books. Anne Deveson talks to Krissy and follows her to work, to her night-time gigs with a punk band, her visits to her boyfriend in gaol. Krissy's often biting comments on society reflect the problems of many young people in Australia in the 1980s.
