Synopsis
Inspired by Pauline Whyman's own experience, Back Seat tells the story of a young Aboriginal girl Janine who goes with her foster parents to meet her biological family for the first time. From the back seat of her foster parent's car, Janine watches as her blood family come into view and then recede into the distance.
