About Rabbit Proof Fence: Featuring the Golden Globe-nominated score by Peter Gabriel -–
a powerful true story of hope and survival. The film has been met with international acclaim!
At a time when it was Australian government policy to train aboriginal children as domestic
workers and integrate them into white society, young Molly Craig decides to lead her little
sister and cousin in a daring escape from their internment camp. Molly and the girls, part of
what would become known as Australia's "Stolen Generations," must then elude the
authorities on a dangerous 1,500-mile adventure along the rabbit-proof fence that bisects the
continent and will lead them home. As shown by this outstanding motion picture, their
universally touching plight and unparalleled courage are a beautiful testament to the undying
strength of the human spirit!
