Sarfaraz A @RT40602226 02/07/2025 This Australian film, directed by Phillip Noyce, is based on Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by indigenous Aboriginal Doris Pilkington Garimara, which chronicles the escape of the author's mother Molly Craig, her sister Daisy Kadibil, and cousin Gracie from Moore River settlement in the early 1930s. Featuring Kenneth Branagh and others. The movie depicts the suffering that indigenous peoples have endured wherever white people invaded and supplanted their culture, beliefs, and practices in the guise of civilizing and improving them. The film has outstanding performances by then young actresses. The filmmaker also depicts a few white individuals as sympathetic to Aboriginals, while other Aboriginals as accomplices to their tormentors.

See more dave s @RT68722908 06/06/2022 Indicative of the ignorance of white Christian Colonialists and the damage they have caused over the years, Rabbit-Proof Fence tells the story of three young aboriginal girls who are torn from their families by the Australian government in an effort to assist them in assimilating into a world they don't understand and the dogged pursuit of the girls when they escape in an effort to reunite with their loved ones. Based on actual events, it is both inspiring and heartbreaking, a condemnation of evil and a testament to the power of love. The cinematography is beautiful, Peter Gabriel's score is spot on, and the performances by the three girls are remarkable. Other than some awkward POV shots, it's hard to find fault with Rabbit-Proof Fence. See more Read all reviews
