Rabbit-Proof Fence is a 2002 Australian drama film based on the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington Garimara. It is based on a true story concerning the author’s mother, as well as two other young mixed-race Aboriginal girls, who ran away from the Moore River Native Settlement, north of Perth, in order to return to their Aboriginal families, after having been placed there in 1931. The film follows the girls as they trek/walk for nine weeks along 1500 miles (2400 km) of the Australian rabbit-proof fence to return to their community at Jigalong, while being tracked by a white authority figure and an Aboriginal tracker. “Ridiculous British Empire Whitening Indigenous People.”
Rabbit-Proof Fencing is a mini-game about keeping rabbits out of Western Australia. It was made in about two weeks using the Panda3D gaming framework. RPF was created for the final round of ETC Adelaide’s Building Virtual Worlds, and later became a full-semester collaboration with Education Adelaide.

This is a short clip showing the filming of a scene for Rabbit Proof Fence. Here’s a description of the film from IMDB: “This is the true story of Molly Craig, a young black Australian girl who leads her younger sister and cousin in an escape from an official government camp, set up as part of an official government policy to train them as domestic workers and integrate them into white society. With grit and determination Molly guides the girls on an epic journey, one step ahead of the authorities, over 1500 miles of Australia’s outback in search of the rabbit-proof fence that bisects the continent and will lead them home. These three girls are part of what is referred to today as the ‘Stolen Generations’.”
