Rabbit-Proof Fence is a movie about 3 little aboriginal girls who were taken from their mothers and put into a sort of concentration camp for kids. A story about their journey out the camp and the travel home. They were taken to a camp and they planned their escape to happen during the rain in order cover their tracks. They came upon lots of people who helped them with food and directions. They followed the Rabbit-Proof Fence home for 1,500 miles to their mothers. The middle child never made it home because she was captured at the train tracks. This movie really captured the aspect of discrimination due to racial features. It also portrays determination and never giving up. The children traveled incredibly far in order to get home to their mothers. They risked everything for the one thing that they desired most. Family."In 1931, with the Aborigine Act in Australia, the Chief Protector of Aborigines in the State of Western Australia A.O. Neville had the power to relocate half-caste children from their families to educational centers to give the culture of the white man. When the fourteen year-old aboriginal girl Molly Craig is taken from her mother in Jigalong with her eight year-old sister Daisy Kadibill and their ten year-old cousin Gracie Fields to the distant Moore River Native Center, they run away trying to return to the tribe in the desert. They are chased by the tracker, Moodoo, and the police under the command of Neville, and have to survive to their long journey back home."
