I thought this movie was fabulous. The film seemed so authentic because of the way it was filmed and the incredible young girls in the movie that it was heartbreaking to watch. The movie documents Australia’s government-sponsored integration program in the 1930’s. The program basically took Aborigine children that they deemed half-caste (half Aborigine/half white) from their homes forcibly to culturally integrate them into the white community with the intent being that they would mate with other white people and future generations would become white. They wanted to avoid what they thought was a "3rd unwanted race". They thought they were helping the people but obviously the Aborigine families were devastated to have their children taken from them. I personally never knew this happened so while I think it’s horrible that this happened, I found it really interesting to learn about this event. The films follows three little girls who escape after being forcibly removed from their homes and follow a rabbit-proof fence that extends for 1500 miles throughout Australia in an attempt to reunite with their families.
