Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)
'Fence' and Sensibility
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Buy Rabbit-Proof Fence on DVD. Philip Noyce (The Quiet American) directed this true political story as a kind of simple adventure story, complete with wide open spaces a la John Ford and a terrific villain (Kenneth Branagh) who truly believes he's doing the right thing. In 1931 Australia, half-caste Aboriginie children are captured and placed in government-run training centers to prepare them for "civilized" life. Three girls, ages 8 to 14, decide to escape -- and we follow them -- as they trace the fence back home. Stunning.
