“Promise Mum” is about Thomas a young Aboriginal man who grew up in Sydney’s north shore community.
On the eve of his wedding to his long-time sweetheart, he is pressured into fulfilling a childhood promise to his estranged mum, Grace and taking her back home to his country up on the New South Wales mid-north coast. Keen to get this last obstacle behind him and move on with his new life, Thomas thinks it will be a quick round trip but what follows is an emotional journey into the past.
This is a heart-warming story of healing the disconnection between a mother and her only son.
