Rabbit Proof Fence

Just finished watching this amazing movie. Based on a true story from 1930's in Australia, its a story of three young girls (8-14 years) who escaped from government run camp where native Australian girls were "protected against themselves" and trained to work as domestic helps in white households. Not to add the fact that these children were converted to Christianity. The government used to snatch these kids from their parents and put them in the camps. This practice continued until as recently as 1970 and Hayden calls India a "third world country".
