Rabbit Proof Fence
The heartbreaking true story of three young Aboriginal girls, Molly, Daisy and Gracie, who, in 1931, where taken from their homes to be trained as domestic staff to be integrated into the white community. Told they no longer had a mother, Molly knew different and decides she along with her younger sister and cousin, will attempt the impossible - a daring escape. Keeping only one step ahead of the authorities, they travel over 1,500 miles over the Australian outback looking for the rabbit-proof fence that will lead them home.

Buena Vista Rabbit Proof Fence [2002]
Based on a true story, <I>Rabbit-proof Fence</I> moves with dignified grace from its joyful opening scenes to a conclusion that's moving beyond words. The title refers to a 1,500-mile fence separating outback desert from the farmlands of Western Australia. It's here, in 1931, that three aboriginal girls are separated from their mothers and transported to a distant training school, where they are prepared for assimilation into white society by a racist government policy. Gracie, Daisy, and Molly belong to Australia's stolen generations, and this riveting film (based on the book by Molly's daughter, Doris Pilkington Garimara) follows their escape and tenacious journey homeward, while a stubborn policy enforcer (Kenneth Branagh) demands their recapture. <p>Director Phillip Noyce chronicles their ordeal with gentle compassion, guiding his untrained, aboriginal child actors with a keen eye for meaningful expressions. Their performances evoke powerful emotions (subtly enhanced by Peter Gabriel's excellent score), illuminating a shameful chapter of Australian history while conveying our universal need for a true and proper home. --<I>Jeff Shannon</I>
