Between 1905 and 1971, the Australian government had a infamous policy. They forcibly removed all half-caste Aboriginal children to special training schools. The grown daughter of one of these children wrote a book about her mother’s experiences. This film is an adaptation of that book.
The tale takes state in 1931, when Molly, then 14, her sister Daily, then 8, and her cousin Gracie, then 10, are literally torn from the arms of their mothers, attach in a cage, and taken 1,200 miles away to a school which is actually a sort of prison. Here, they are forbidden to state their possess language, they have to wait on a Christian church, and are taught the ways of the white Australian culture around them. Led by Molly, the girls bustle away. And most of the film is the odyssey of their traipse relieve home, following the rabbit-proof fence that bisects Australia, constructed to retain rabbits out of the pastureland.
The villain is clearly the white director of the school. It is extraordinary, but he actually believes in the racial theories that were prevalent at the time. He believes he is helping them and plays his role well, coming across as slow and misguided rather than immoral. The Aboriginal girls are all unknowns, and terrific actresses, as are the women who play Molly and Daisy’s mother and grandmother. The courage and determination of the girls during their three-month pace, the people they meet along the contrivance, and their efforts to dodge the trackers who have been sent to retrieve them by the school, is truly racy. This is all state against the backdrop of the Australian outback; the cinematography certainly captures its beauty.

The film is 94 minutes long and moves like a flash. I immediately identified with the girls and felt their dread as well as their bravery as they made their plot across the Australian continent. In a postscript to the narrative, we learn more about their lives. It did not turn out to be gorgeous. But two of the girls have survived into their nineties, and we meet them briefly. They are strong women with weathered faces, one of them walking with a cane, but clearly at home in their Outback surroundings.
The film is a lesson in inspiration and courage as well as a geography and history lesson about Australia. I loved it and highly recommend it.
Based on (fragment of) a correct fable, “Rabbit-Proof Fence” details the long slide that three young aboriginal girls embark on after being forcefully taken from their family in order to learn how to “fit into” a white society.
The sage is attractive, and the execution from director Phillip Noyce is fair. This is a perfect film for history teachers to point to their students. The performances are very natural and winning. Peter Gabriel’s salvage is agreeable - with the music playing over the closing credits being some of his best work ever (and appearing in a slightly different get as “Sky Blue” on his 2002 album, _UP_) .

If you have seen this movie and enjoyed it, the DVD is a keeper. The audio commentary from Noyce is superbly done. In addition to giving the viewer background as to how and why he did the movie, he also offers up some inspiring tidbits about the disagreement between working on mainstream films (”Definite & Point To Difficulty,” “Sliver,” etc.) and smaller films like “Rabbit-Proof Fence” and “The Peaceful American.” A honorable documentary is included as well.
