The Rabbit Proof Fence

Its pretty hard hitting.  It was originally a book based on the author's mother, and two other young mixed-race Aboriginal girls, who ran away from the Moore River Native Settlement, north of Perth, in order to return to their Aboriginal families, after being placed there in 1931.

It basically shows them walking miles along the Australian rabbit-proof fence to return to their community while being tracked by a white authority figure and a black tracker.

Well worth a watch.

Last King of Scotland is a shit interpretation of the book. Do yourselves a favour, skip the film and read the book.

I bought it on DVD after reading the book and was very disappointed.  :twisted:
