Rabbit-Proof Fence

the screenplay

Beschreibung

Three Aboriginal girls are forcibly removed from their outback families in 1931 to be trained as domestic servants as part of official government policy. They escape and begin a 1500-mile journey home using a rabbit-proof fence as their guide, with the authorities chasing them all the way. Winner of a NSW Premier's Award for Script Writing and a Community Relations Commission Award, the screenplay is adapted from Doris Pilkington Garimara's book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence, which is based on her mother's true story.
