“Rabbit-Proof Fence,” from Australian director Phillip Noyce, tackles the issues of Aboriginal Australia head-on.
Discussions rage about the socalled “Stolen Generation,” a cohort of Aboriginal Australians taken by the government from their families, “for their own good,” to be integrated into white society through work as household domestics—and the government’s debt of apology to them.
“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is showing at The Theatre on Gay Street in Washington on Friday, Feb. 6 at 8 p.m.
Molly, Daisy and Gracie, played by Everlyn Sampi, Tianna Sansbury and Laura Monaghan, are Aboriginal girls who feel the sting of governmental interference when tom from their mother and sent to live at a remote mission. Here they will be taught the ways of white Christian Australia and how to work for upper-class families as domestics.
But the fiercely independent Molly is sickened by the repressive mission. She grabs Daisy and Gracie and the three make their escape.
