A confronting insight into the history and legacy of the domestic servitude enforced upon Aboriginal girls in Australia, told through the stories of five women and shot with admirable craft and humanity by documentarian Steven McGregor.

Bringing to light the heartbreaking experiences of Rita Wright, Rita Wenberg, Violet West, Adelaide Wenberg and Valerie Linow, Servant or Slave is a film of courage, strength and the fortitude to pursue justice for the crimes committed against them after being stolen from their families, trained to be domestic servants and forced into indentured labour. Theirs is a David and Goliath battle, not only for personal retribution, but also for the next generation of Aboriginal people to come—Hetti Perkins

Servant or Slave follows the lives of four Aboriginal women who were stolen from their families and trained to be domestic servants, and later forced into slave labour, to discover that even today they've had to fight for recognition, respect and reparation for their treatment in the past.
