Powerful film set in 1930s Australia, where children born to mixed-race parents were often taken from their Aboriginal mothers by the state.

I'm truly stunned. 'Rabbit proof fence' has actually left me in awe.

I laughed, I nearly cried and my heart soared on the wings of the spirit bird with Molly, Daisy and Gracie. The captivating and absolutely

true story made me realise just how fortunate we are and gave me goosebumps; the way the film was so well executed and detailed it left no important questions unanswered. I truly, truly think this film will remain in my memory forever.

Molly, Daisy and Gracie were all people who possessed qualities all of us ought to aspire to. I was seething with hatred and despair when the girls were torn from their mother, I concealed my tears when Gracie was found and I glowed with radiant happiness when the girls were reunited with their mother.

I'm shivering delightedly writing this review, so I would of course rate this five stars, but my phone won't (annoyingly!) let me. I cannot thank Mrs Mclardy and Mrs Vickeridge enough for showing us this incomprehensibly brilliant film which will always be fresh in my mind.
