Rabbit Proof Fence

[Guest guest]

I just finished watching this movie based on a true story.

God what a tear jerker. The music by Peter Gabriel

is mesmerizing & captures the spirit of the events perfectly.

 

If you are not familiar with the story it is about

3 aboriginal children stolen from their family in 1931

by the white people in Australia who were following the

doctrine of eugenics, believing that their native genes

could be bred out of them for their own good.

 

The children decide to escape and head out on a 1500 mile

journey on foot back home.

 

This practice of tearing native families apart in Australia took place

all the way up to 1970.

 

Anyhow, if you don't mind powerful emotions,

a story about the resilience of the human soul

and music that transports check it out.

 

You will be moved.

Exactly the same thing happened in USA and Canada, this is where the

Aussies got the idea from. Residential schools full of abuse, sexual

and physical.........All up to very recent dates as well........S
