Rabbit Proof Fence is the true story of three Aborigine girls who travel more than 1,000 miles on foot through the desert to return home to their mothers. The girls were taken from their mothers in Australia's effort to train "half caste" - or half white - children to be servants in mainstream Australia. Most reviewers will note that although the intention seems absurd now, the government had good intentions. I don't swallow this a bit, but that's my opinion.The movie itself is well done. I didn't recognize any of the actors, but the acting was excellent. I was surprised at the acting capability of the unknown girl actresses.I highly recommend this movie.
