About this episode

The episode explores the life of a former foster child who uncovers the government file documenting their childhood experiences.

There’s a government file about my life. A file full of reports. The reports date from 1985 to 2003. That’s 18 years. File 105538. No, I’m not a terrorist or a spy. From two weeks old, to the day I turned 18, I was a foster child. I do not own the file about my life. It belongs to the state of Queensland. But when I turned 18 I wanted answers. What I found rocked me to my core. This is my story.
