 History hurts! August 7, 2008
Watched movie with my neighbors and am giving Amazon purchase as Christmas present. Service from Amazon was excellent.
One of the best movies I've seen July 15, 2008
Provides insight to a different era in Australia and a view into aboriginal culture. An inspiring film that showcases how hope and determination can lead to amazing accomplishments.
A Must See June 13, 2008
Our daughter had recommended this movie to us after watching it at school, and a special thanks goes to her. This movie captures the human spirit at its best actually using aborignal actors that had no acting experience proior to the making of this movie. Its a movie for all ages and teaches us a valuable lesson of human spirit, determination and the will to survive at such a young age, under such hostile conditions. This definetly a must see and to have in you're collection to be watched again.
Rabbit Proof Fence June 2, 2008
This movie was excellent, it had all the emotions. I never dreamed that this occurred anywhere in the world. I highly recommend this movie.
 Heart Breaking... May 25, 2008
Based on true story. Set in 1930's in western Australia. Aboriginal children, fathered and abandoned by white workers, were pulled from the aboriginal mothers and herded into camps 1500 miles away - where they were forced to give up their native language, culture and customs. Ultimately they are held in this camp until they were re-settled as cheap labor.
Molly Craig (14) and her 2 of her young cousins, Daisy and Gracie, aged 8 and 10, were three of these children. They ran away from the camp to make their 1500 mile trek home on foot over a span of 9 weeks. They were pursued by Aboriginal trackers hired by the Government along with the army and police. The story shows the incredible determination and persistence of the girls to get back to their mothers in addition to the persistence of the Government to recapture them.
Terrific cinematography and casting. Very moving story where I learned part of Australia's unflattering history...
