“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is a 2002 Australian drama film directed by Phillip Noyce. It’s based on a true story and adapted from the book *Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence* by Doris Pilkington Garimara.

The film is set in 1931 and follows the harrowing journey of three Aboriginal girls—Molly
Craig (played by Everlyn Sampi), Daisy Kadibil (played by Tianna Sansbury), and Gracie
Fields (played by Laura Monaghan)—who are forcibly removed from their families by the Australian government. This was part of a government policy to assimilate Indigenous children into white Australian society, known as the “Stolen Generations” policy.

The girls are taken to a settlement called Moore River Native Settlement, where they are separated from their families and subjected to harsh treatment. Determined to return home, Molly, Daisy, and Gracie escape from the settlement and embark on a treacherous journey back to their Aboriginal community. They use a rabbit-proof fence, a long fence built to keep rabbits out of farmland, as a guide to navigate their way across the Australian desert.

The film powerfully depicts their struggle, endurance, and the harsh realities of colonial policies. It highlights the resilience of the Aboriginal people and the impact of these government policies on Indigenous families.

“Rabbit-Proof Fence” received critical acclaim for its portrayal of this historical injustice and its emotional depth. It’s both a moving story of bravery and a poignant reminder of the need to acknowledge and address past wrongs.
