Irishchatter It really does break your heart that these aboriginal girls were kidnapped by the "whites" to be trained as slaves. It's like the African Americans being treated poorly by the whites. Really this world is corrupted as hell by worrying about where people grew up to be. Like both the aboriginals and the African Americans are still being treated poorly today. It's too bad during the movie, the two sisters never saw the third girl again after she was taken away. I wonder what did happen to her? At least the two girls were reunited with the mother and grandmother. Wonder where's the father? Lol. Seriously those movie is full of questions in your head!Really good movie especially Deborah Mailman from "The Sapphires" being involved in this!

John Raymond Peterson This movie will interest a limited audience because of its subject matter; those who like to learn about history through film will rejoice in this work by Phillip Noyce. He has credits for visual impact films (several hits in fact) and has chosen here to put his expertise to use in the telling of an important and also shameful legacy of Australia's policy and practice back in the late 1920s and early 1930s. It was not the only country to display despicable treatment of natives; many powerful countries share that dubious distinction (even today if you are up on world events). The Peter Gabriel movie score was a pleasant surprise. The title was well chosen and its choice is quickly apparent from early on in the film; researching information on the actual 'rabbit-proof fence' (the most impressive fence in the world), I found fascinating tidbits.The cinematography is awe-inspiring, and like in the movie 'The Way Back', it plays a role as important as some of the characters themselves. What the director has done with unknown cast, not even amateurs, is positively wonderful. You can't help but be moved by their performances, truly. It matters not that this is a 2002 movie because it takes place in the early part of the 20th century; the lesson we get from it however is timeless. I did not go see it when it was released and for those like me who have not, it is well worth watching now.

sigmundhol The film is based on a true story, and was made in 2002. It takes place in Australia, and is about the children who were taken away from their families, which is called the lost generation. Phillip Noyce was directing the movie and Everlyn Sampi was playing the lead as Molly Craig.The Movie is about Molly Craig, her little sister and her cousin. They are half cast children and live with their families. One day, a car arrives where they live, by the rabbit proof fence. The children try to escape, but the man takes them into his car and abduct them to Moore River 1500 miles away. There they meet other half cast children who also has been taken away from their families. One morning Molly and the two other girls, decides to escape from Moore River, while everyone is in church. They run into the woods and starts their long trip back home. The evening this day, the people at Moore River discovers that they are gone. Soon they have a professional aboriginal tracker, and a police patrol hunting for them.I think the film was good. It was well made, and it tells an important story. The film is mostly about the tree girls walking across the country to get back to their tribe. But the film tells an important story of a shameful part of Australian history. So it's well worth watching.

Katrine Sagmo Characters:Molly: She is the oldest girl of three and Daisy's sister. She is 14- years old.Gracie: She is Molly and Daisy's cousin. She is the middle one. She is 10-years old.Daisy: She is the youngest one. She is 8-years old.The film is a 2002 Australian drama film. It is directed by Philip Noyce. Rabbit-Proof Fence is based on the book "Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence" written by Doris Pilkington Garimara. It is based on a true story. The film follows the Aboriginal girls as they walk for nine weeks along 1500 miles (2400 km) of the Australian rabbit-proof fence to return to their community at Jigalong, while being pursued by a white authority figure and an Aboriginal tracker. The soundtrack to the film is called "Long Walk Home: Music from the Rabbit-Proof Fence", is made by a man named Peter Gabriel.This is in Western Australia during the 1930s. The film begins in the remote town of Jigalong where 14-year old Molly, and 8-year old Daisy, lives with their mother, grandmother and their 10-year old cousin Gracie. Thousands of miles away, the "protector" of the Aborigines, A.O. Neville, signs an order to take the girls to his re-education camp. Neville calls people like these girls "half-castes", they have one white and one aboriginal parent. Neville says that the aboriginal peoples of Australia are a danger to themselves, and that the "half-castes" must be bred out of existence. The girls are taken from Jigalong to the camp at Moore River. Half-castes that are of a certain age live at the camps and are taught to become servants for the whites living in Australia. The three girls, Molly, Gracie and Daisy decide to escape from the camp and walk home to Jigalong. The Aboriginal tracker, Moodoo, is called in to find the girls and bring them back to the camp. They evade Moodoo several times, receiving aid from strangers in the harsh Australian country they travel. After a long walk they find the rabbit-proof fence and knows that they can follow it north to Jigalong. Neville figures out their strategy and sends Moodoo and a local constable, Riggs, after them.I think this was a great film with facts about differences between people and what people do to other people. Here the white people want to eradicate the aborigines, and "help" the half-castes. I will recommend this film, because it is very interesting. But I will not recommend it for a cozy evening.
