Half a million Australian children have been raised in institutional care.
Staunch is the story of one boy's life as a ward of the state.
Given up at birth and 'divorced' from his adoptive parents at ten, Andy spent
his adolescence in institutions and foster homes. It's not until he meets Mez, a
kind-hearted carer, that Andy finds a parent figure he can trust and a reason to
hope. But can he escape the cycle of self-destruction set off by years of
neglect?
Staunch is a poignant portrayal of Andy and his friendship with Mez. It's also
testament to the many thousands who survived harrowing experiences as Forgotten
Australians.
