Rabbit-Proof Fence

Wed., Nov. 27, 2002 12:00 AM PST

B
Snatched from their family by the Australian government and forced to integrate into white society, three young Aboriginal sisters decide they'll do anything to get back home--even if it means hoofing it 1,500 miles, through rocky terrain and desert without a map. Based on a true story and set in 1931, Fence not only reveals a dark point in Aussie history, but tells a tale of strength and courage that appeals to everyone. The actresses on the run--all first-timers--are compelling as they struggle to stay ahead of government official Kenneth Branagh. Even if the journey is tedious at times, this noble film's beauty and power outweighs that. And it will make you appreciate anything with wheels.
