One of the most moving moments of the documentary was when a man interviewed for the documentary expressed his desire for the Malaga story to remain buried.  He believes that by now, people know that the eviction was wrong and unjust, but to keep dredging up the painful past is pointless.  If we keep bringing up the past, it will keep the wound open.  Let the past fade away, dissolve into history, don't refer to it again, and it will be like it never happened - and if it never happened, it won't hurt today, he thinks.

Rob and Kate have a different view, I think, as do I.  What happened to the people of Malaga DID happen, and nothing can erase the painful past.  Denial can't and won't change it.  Only by acknowledging what happened, honoring the people of Malaga and their descendents by telling their story without shame, with bravery, tenderness, and compassion, can true healing and forgiveness occur.  And with understanding and forgiveness, injustice like the Malaga Island violence is less likely to occur in the future.
