Rabbit-Proof Fence is a powerful true story of hope and survival and has been met with international acclaim! At a time when it was Australian government policy to train aboriginal children as domestic workers and integrate them into white society, young Molly Craig decides to lead her little sister and cousin in a daring escape from their internment camp. Molly and the girls, part of what would become known as Australia's "Stolen Generations," must then elude the authorities on a dangerous 1,500-mile adventure along the rabbit-proof fence that bisects the continent and will lead them home.

Rabbit Proof Fence is a slow and not very imaginative film in terms of directing – only the lively camerawork makes it visually distinctive – but it is very pleasant in terms of its subject and surprising in the context of Phillip Noyce’s filmography. Even though it may be political propaganda, it is also a story about the importance of family ties and the presence of a supportive domestic environment. And with an excellent performance by the young lead actress.
