Description:
"The Habits of New Norcia" presents stories from Aboriginal people who were children confined to the New Norcia Benedictine Mission in Western Australia during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. Separated from their families, they lived in a place described as an "orphanage without orphans." In recent years, the New Norcia Monastery has been promoted as a major cultural tourist destination, highlighting its architecture, art, and history. However, this documentary challenges that narrative. It reveals how the Mission has concealed its history of violence against Aboriginal children by omitting their experiences from the museum, tours, and promotional materials – a deliberate cover-up that inflicts ongoing pain.
