Good film
2 February 2012
The film is based on a true story, and was made in 2002. It takes place in Australia, and is about the children who were taken away from their families, which is called the lost generation. Phillip Noyce was directing the movie and Everlyn Sampi was playing the lead as Molly Craig.

The Movie is about Molly Craig, her little sister and her cousin. They are half cast children and live with their families. One day, a car arrives where they live, by the rabbit proof fence. The children try to escape, but the man takes them into his car and abduct them to Moore River 1500 miles away. There they meet other half cast children who also has been taken away from their families. One morning Molly and the two other girls, decides to escape from Moore River, while everyone is in church. They run into the woods and starts their long trip back home. The evening this day, the people at Moore River discovers that they are gone. Soon they have a professional aboriginal tracker, and a police patrol hunting for them.

I think the film was good. It was well made, and it tells an important story. The film is mostly about the tree girls walking across the country to get back to their tribe. But the film tells an important story of a shameful part of Australian history. So it's well worth watching.
