- ""This program follows the inspiring journey of Leonie Sheedy and Dr Joanna Penglase, two women fighting for national recognition of a shameful history. Passionate campaigners, they were raised in "care", part of the generation of the Forgotten Australians. Unlike so many others, beaten down by their shocking start to life, the combined talents of these two amazing women gave them the drive and courage to be heard, culminating in the formal apology by the Rudd Government in November 2009. 'The Forgotten Australians' is told with courage, candour, and camaraderie at a time when Australia is finally acknowledging its dark past and bringing it to light" -- VEA web site and disc container."
- "One year after Kevin Rudd's National Apology, The Forgotten Australians brings to light the untold shameful history of Australia's care institutions. Moving, honest and enlightening, the program tells for the first time the stories and suffering of thousands of Australian children, who were put into care between the 1930s and 1980s; in a system that was unscrutinised and overburdened. Even after the apology, many still don't understand its relevance or importance. This documentary aims to shed a light on this secret history, the after-effects of which are still being felt."
