Rabbit-Proof Fence

Event date: July 2, 2010

An amazing, true, story of children overcoming staggering odds. Until the 1970s, Australian law call for young girls of mixed aboriginal and European blood to be forcibly removed from their homes and placed in an internment camp to be trained as domestic servants. This true story follows three young girls as the escape and set out on a 1500 mile trek to their home. Swept the Australian “Oscars” and won dozens of international awards.

In the words of one critic, “The result is a film that outrages and fills the viewer with poetry that’s at once epic and intimate, scandalizing and life-affirming — a real work of art.”
