Voices in the Dark is a new DVD of a television program broadcast on ABC2. It is now available for loan from the Learning Centre.
"Voices in the Dark documents Christina Henri's epic project Roses from the Heart, involving the creation of 25,566 embroidered bonnets, one for every convict woman transported to Australia from Great Britain in the 1800s. Henri's project asks us to consider the true legacy female convicts, sentenced for crimes of poverty and condemned by society as whores and witches, have made to the societies we live in today." -- back cover
