Wanderlust World Wanderlust World The 2002 film Rabbit-Proof Fence tells the true story of three Aboriginal girls—Molly, Daisy, and Gracie—who escaped the Moore River Native Settlement in 1931 and walked 1,600 kilometers home along the rabbit-proof fence.
The girls were of the Martu people, an Aboriginal group from the Western Desert region of Australia. Their journey highlights the government's "Stolen Generations" policy, which forcibly removed mixed-race children from their families. The film, based on Doris Pilkington Garimara's book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence, brought international attention to this dark chapter in Australian history.
