Description: Rosie's Secret is an important element of a significant genre in the arts in Australia - the hoax. In the film , writer, director and producer Lisa Matthews traces the rediscovery of Rosie Foster, an important figure in labour relations during the building of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the first to cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony of 19 March 1932. Unlike poet Ern Malley, Elizabeth Durack's Aboriginal artist Eddie Burrup, or writer Helen Demidenko/Darville, however, there is no attempt to hide the fact of this fiction. The final frame contains the words: 'The recreation of characters and events in this film is fictitious.' Underlying the playfulness of the fabrication is a serious commentary on how histories are created.
