The Rabbit Proof Fence Movie

The Rabbit Proof Fence

The movie ‘The Rabbit Proof Fence’ is about three Aboriginal girls named Molly (who is 15 years old), Daisy the sister of Molly and Gracie the cousin who live in Western Australia with their mother and grandmother. In this movie the government was being racist because their policy involved taking the children away from their family and put them in a boarding school where they learnt how to speak English and were educated.

The significance of the eagle was that it will always keep you safe, will look after you and it will guide you, when Molly and her sister Daisy were alone and isolated from everyone, Molly saw the eagle in the sky flying in circles and it meant that the eagle will guide them home and that they will be safe.

It would have been difficult for Molly to tell the story because it’s painful for her how it brings back the memories when she was away from her family and what she went through to come back home and also seeing her cousin being taken away from her and not making it back to come home.
