The Moral Drift is an interdisciplinary project which has been developed by a collective of investigative researchers. It brings together Fraser Crichton—a Te Whanganui-a-Tara based researcher and documentary photographer, Malcolm Richards—a survivor of abuse in care at the former Lake Alice Child and Adolescent Unit, and Lachlan Kermode—a Research Fellow at the international human rights agency Forensic Architecture. Together they investigate a partial history of Aotearoa's state care system, uncovering a legacy of abuse and the resiliency of the survivors who continue to seek justice today.
