WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following clip may contain images and voices of deceased persons
In 1960, Agnes Coe (Nin) learned of the death of her brother Milton, an Aboriginal man, in a mine in South Australia, but the story has always been based on loose facts and unanswered questions.
It was rumoured that Milton had been killed by a local police officer after he started a relationship with the man's white daughter.
In 2009, Milton's great niece, filmmaker Mary Munro, makes the journey to South Australia in a search for answers.
