"Rabbit-Proof Fence"

"Rabbit-Proof Fence" is a 2002 Australian film directed by Phillip Noyce, based on a true story. It follows three Aboriginal girls—Daisy, Gracie, and Molly—who are taken from their families as part of a government policy to assimilate Indigenous children into white society in the 1930s. Determined to return home, they escape and embark on a 1,500-mile journey along the rabbit-proof fence, a controversial structure built to keep out rabbits. The film highlights the impact of colonial policies on Indigenous people and emphasizes themes of resilience, identity, and the struggle for cultural survival.
