''[[Rabbit-Proof Fense]]'' is a 2002 Australian [[Historical Drama]] film.
The British/Australian government has rounded up children of Australian aborigines. They will take care of them as if they were orphans, and as a bonus, they intend to wipe out the Australian aborigine culture in the process. If no one passes it down, it'll go away.▼
▲It is the 1930s. The British/Australian government has rounded up children of Australian aborigines. They will take care of them as if they were orphans, and as a bonus, they intend to wipe out the Australian aborigine culture in the process. If no one passes it down, it'll go away.
Our protagonists are three "half-caste" Aborigine girls, 14-year-old Molly, 10-year-old Gracie, and 8-year-old Daisy in one of the homes the British/Australian government has put aborigine children in. It is on the opposite coast of the country from their home. Molly leads the other girls in an escape and they try to make their way home, following the "rabbit-proof" fence that runs all the way across Australia to protect the cattle grazing lands from the rabbits.
