Rabbit-Proof Fence gets 4.5/5 stars. True story about three half-aborigine girls (ages 7,10, and 14) who escape an internment camp of sorts and trek 1500 miles through the Australian outback to return home. The children had no prior theatrical training and yet their somewhat amateurish performances lent a powerful credibility. I thought the director could have done a little better job of emphasizing the magnitude of the accomplishment; the girls' appearance didn't change much along their six week journey. Nitpicking aside, though, it's a fantastic testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.
* bit of a spoiler *
At the end, they show the actual women who made the journey, now in their 70's, and the subtitles inform you that the oldest girl was later brought back to the same camp along with her little daughter. She escaped and made the journey again, this time carrying her daughter on her back. Tremendous.
