Adventure Biography Drama History

7.5 / 10

Western Australia, 1931. Government policy includes taking half-white, half-Aboriginal children from their Aboriginal mothers and sending them a thousand miles away to what amounts to indentured servitude, "to save them from themselves." Molly, Daisy, and Grace (two sisters and a cousin who are fourteen, ten, and eight) arrive at their Gulag and promptly escape, under Molly's lead. For several days they walk north, following a fence that keeps rabbits from settlements, eluding a native tracker and the regional constabulary. Their pursuers take orders from the government's "Chief Protector of Aborigines", A.O. Neville, blinded by Anglo-Christian certainty, evolutionary world view, and conventional wisdom. Can the girls survive?

Be lucky that they were occupied by white people. Had it been in India, they would had been raped, iron rods inserted, begging on the streets or becoming mentally ill homeless like thousands of girls like them. - @Friday, November 30, 2018 2:23 PM

This is such a good movie. I remember in primary school when we watched this movie, I remember crying so much watching this. Me and my friend were the only ones really comprehending what this was really about. I remember watching this for the first time and my mum told me about the Stolen Generation and I was shocked at how ANYONE would be okay with this. I really felt so empathetic for those children and found their suffering something that I could never comprehend. This movie really moved me and my friend and I’m still shocked that it doesn’t impact a lot of Australians like it did to some children. It’s such a beautiful and sad piece. - @Monday, November 26, 2018 5:30 AM

Stay woke! This is especially prevelant in the black community with all of the mixing. People dont realize there are current studies going on with mixed Gene's every day in labs across the world. Mixed children are nothing but lab rats and that's truly sad. - @Sunday, November 25, 2018 2:38 PM

I can't imagine why white man delighted in separating children of different skin color from families! It was kidnapping! They were NOT doing them a kind favor, and it was not their family and not their life to worry about! It was such a tearjerker. - @Saturday, September 8, 2018 3:45 AM

If you want to know the truth about a country; find out how they treat their indigenous cultures. In the case of both Australia and the United States. They are treated no better now than they were treated in the 19th and 20th c...which is to say abominable. - @Thursday, June 28, 2018 7:14 PM

I read this was based on a true story and when I saw the end of this movie, I sobbed like a baby. I can't believe this horrible shit was done to the Aboriginal people. The fact that discrimination is still ongoing makes me so sick to my stomach. - @Friday, January 19, 2018 7:32 AM

@Nia Studying something is not blaming the current generation, it is coming to understand what has happened and how to avoid it ever happening again. We have people here in America that want to pretend that slavery or Jim Crow never happened, and if they had their way we would never be able to talk about it either. but, it did happen and the effects are still reverberating through our society. People of color are still struggling against disadvantages that started back in the days of slavery and still persist to this day. No, we may not owe them an apology for what our ancestors did to their ancestors, but we do owe it to them to understand how past injustices have effected current generations and not use our white privilege to gain even more of an advantage over them. - @Wednesday, November 29, 2017 7:40 AM

My Grandfather was part of the stolen generation and was taken to a camp like this called Cherbourg, now a community or shire for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people. I am not sure what age he was allowed to leave. And had only been given an official and public Australian Government Apology in 2008 by Kevin Rudd. *Shakes head*. You have to go though the elders to be recognized as part of the community, much like Native Americans. At school it was hard to watch as classmates made fun of it, knowing damn well how bad it was *continues to shake head* and if you are from my class from then and you see this just know how much of an asshole you are. 😑😐👏🖕by the way I am 26 soon. If you look at aboriginal mobs on google you can see the different mobs. Each has a native spirit animal. For example ours / mine is the carpet snake, which is wise. So this bird could be freedom. Also much like the Native Americans. - @Wednesday, November 1, 2017 6:57 AM
