Rabbit-Proof Fence

Today’s post is from Jennifer at Haggard Library:

Rabbit-Proof:  The True Story of One of the Greatest Escapes of All Time   directed by Phillip Noyce  (2002)

This is the moving tale of 3 girls who are ripped from their mothers’ arms and sent to a camp for half-caste aboriginals to assimilate them into the Caucasian world.  The girls escape the camp and elude a tracker as they walk 900 miles back to their parents.  It is based on a true story.
