Description

When Kate, a white Australian foster mother, takes her 18-yearold Torres Straight Islander foster son back to Brisbane to meet his sick birth mother, Kate?s own mother has a homecoming of a very different kind planned for her daughter. Paydirt paints a portrait of contemporary Australia that is that is anything but black versus white.
