Holy Day

"When a child disappears tensions and vulnerabilities are exposed within a tenuous community on the frontier of white settlement. Elizabeth, the devout wife of a missionary is suspected of being involved in her own child's demise. But the men who sit in judgment can't fathom the reason why a woman would take the life of her own child. Only the women understand the dark place a mother can go. Linda, a local aboriginal woman knows what happened at the mission on the night the child disappeared. But she maintains her silence. She refuses to recognise the authority of European justice. By doing so she casts herself as a political prisoner and European settlement as a hostile act of occupation by a foreign power. Holy Day is about two defiant women who refuse to account for the unaccountable. It depicts a white community locked in a moral crisis, unable to liberate itself because it cannot face its dark truths." -- From Doollee.com.
