Growing up in Australia in the 1920s and 1930s, fourteen-year-old Molly and her cousins, Daisy and Gracie, were children of Aboriginal mothers and white fathers. In 1931, Molly and her cousins were taken from their families and sent to a camp to be trained as good "white" Australians. They were told to forget their mothers, their language, and their home. But Molly wouldn't forget. She and her cousins escaped and walked back to Jigalong, 1,000 miles away, using the rabbit-proof fence as their guide through the desert. This is the true story of that journey, told by Molly's daughter, Doris. It is also an award-winning film.
