anyone seen this flick? came out in 2002 but i just saw it on DVD..

true story about three half-Aborigine girls who were put in a camp for "half castes" which they did at that time in Australia (1931) and escaped and walked 1500 miles to get home.

i was transfixed, not getting up once to smoke or eat anything.. amazing.

Really? It looked awful, really awful. And I thought the title was about as lame as it gets. I figure if they can't even write a decent title, the movie has no chance, true story or not.

rent it

it's a true, incredible story. it's well shot, well acted, well directed. a little heavy-handed at times with the racism message. but, three little girls (age 8, 10 and 14) walked 1,500 miles through the desert to get back to their family. punk rock.

i thought the title was bad too, but it's kind of integral to the story. they follow this rabbit-proof fence to find their way home.

The title is quite relevent to the movie but can be misconstrued as a non-serious title i guess...would be an incredible story even if it were fictional - great movie

It's a great film. I recommend 'The Station Agent' too. Hey Floop, do you count not getting up during a film a major feat?!?
