Rabbit-Proof Fence Movie Synopsis
The true story of three aboriginal girls who were forcibly taken from their homes in 1931 to
be trained as domestic servants as part of an official Australian government policy. They
made a daring escape and embarked on an epic 1,500 mile journey to get back home -- following the
rabbit-proof fence that bisects the Australian continent -- with the authorities in hot pursuit.
Based on the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington and Nugi Garimara.
Touching and dramatic movie. It's scary that this could happen. Notwithstanding its horrific story, it was impossible not to watch.
Tribute to Stolen Generation
We thought the movie was very good. Very interesting to see what challenges there are in this world and how people have the will to survive them!
