Molly, Daisy and Gracie are all born of an Aboriginal mother and a white father. Forcibly removed from their family by the Australian government, the girls are taken 1,500 miles to a severe Anglican education camp. There they are trained as domestic servants in order to be 'assimilated' into white society. Molly Craig, the oldest of the three leads her younger sister and cousin in a daring escape back to their home and family.
The film follows the trio on an epic journey across the breathtaking Australian Outback. A government built, rabbit proof fence that stretches from the north to the south of Australia, ironically provides the girls with something that they can follow all the way home, away from the cruelty of their oppressors.

A moving, wonderful film (although don't buy this if you want an action packed film) Moves at a slow pace. Lovely to watch these children on their long, long journey. Highlights injustice towards the aboriginal people.

I rented this DVD and on the strength of that, bought it. It is a story of courage and determination and about a part of history that I was not aware of. The information about the making of the film/casting was very interesting.
