Review of Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) by Ross M — 01 Apr 2010

Another film that shows just how white men fucked over another indigenous people, this time it follows the true story of three mixed race aborigine girls, who like countless other â??half-castesâ?? are removed from their families and sent to , what were essentially prison camps, where they were trained to be servants.

This disgusting practice occurred in Australia right up to 1970, but nearly 40 years early these three girls escape (two sisters and a cousin) and walk for 7 weeks across the country, trying to get home.

itâ??s a captivating story, aided by Kenneth Branaughâ??s performance as Mr Neville, the man left in charge of this government sponsored mass kidnapping, but he truly believes what he is doing is the best thing for everything, which makes him difficult to hate.
