This is the true account of Doris Pilkington Garimara's mother Molly, made legendary by the film "Rabbit-Proof Fence".
In 1931 Molly led her two sisters on an extraordinary 1,000 kilometre walk across remote Western Australia. Aged 8, 11 and 14, they escaped the confinement of a government institution fpr Aboriginal children removed from their families. Barefoot, without provisions or maps, tracked by Native Police and search planes, the girls followed the rabbit-proof fence, knowing it would lead them home.
Their journey - longer then many of the celebrated walks of our explorer heroes - reveals a past more cruel than we could ever imagine.
