Rabbit-Proof Fence

Duration: 1 hour, 25 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One North East & CumbriaLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

Australian drama set in the 1930s about three mixed-race girls who are brutally torn from their Aboriginal mother and sent over a thousand miles away to a training camp for domestic workers as part of a government policy to forcibly integrate them into white society.

Linking the camp and their distant home territory is a vast rabbit-proof fence, which stretches from one coast to another and just might help the girls find their way back. Show less
