Rabbit-Proof Fence
is a 2002 Australian
drama film
directed by
Phillip Noyce
based on the book
Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence
by
Doris Pilkington Garimara
. It is loosely based on a true story concerning the author's mother
Molly
, as well as two other
mixed-race
Aboriginal
girls, who ran away from the
Moore River Native Settlement
, north of
Perth
, Western Australia, to return to their Aboriginal families, after being placed there in 1931. The film follows the Aboriginal girls as they
walk
for nine weeks along of the Australian
rabbit-proof fence
to return to their community at
Jigalong
, while being pursued by white law enforcement authorities and an
Aboriginal tracker
.
