Rabbit-Proof Fence is a very pretty and surprisingly well-acted film, one that manages to confront racism without being preachy about it. While there’s apparently some disagreement as to its accuracy, it does work as a basic introduction to the Stolen Generations, something I suspect most of us outside Australia don’t know much about. (More surprising than anything else is that the Australian government continued the policy of removing mixed-race Aboriginal children from their parents up to the 1970’s.) And for that, it’s worth checking out. 8/10.
