LANI'S STORY follows a woman’s experience of two relationships – one she has to escape to survive, the other she cannot survive without. It is a moving and intimate portrait of a young Aboriginal woman’s journey from victim to victor, from a broken and violent relationship to discovering the redemptive power of love. LANI'S STORY also explores the impact of inter-generational violence within a family and community and how the courage of one person can transform the lives of others.
