Molly Daisy and Gracie are all born of an Aboriginal mother and a white father. Forcibly removed from their family by the Australian government the girls are taken 1 500 miles to a severe Anglican education camp. There they are trained as domestic servants in order to be 'assimilated' into white society. Molly Craig the oldest of the three leads her younger sister and cousin in a daring escape back to their home and family. The film follows the trio on an epic journey across the breathtaking Australian Outback. A government built rabbit proof fence that stretches from... the north to the south of Australia ironically provides the girls with something that they can follow all the way home away from the cruelty of their oppressors.

During the most part of the early to mid 20th century, Australia's government policy was that mixed race Aboriginal children would be better off being brought up as white and so forcefully removed them from their homes to be trained as domestic servants. This film follows the true story of 3 such children; cousins Molly, Gracie and Daisy, who in 1931 found themselves being taken from their parents, sent to an institution and forced to forget their family and culture. However, Molly leads her 2 cousins in a daring escape across 1,500 miles of outback with no water and only the fence erected across the country to stop the epidemic of rabbits as a guide. Kenneth Branagh plays the government official charged with the return of the girls and the story is based on the book by Doris Pilkington, the neice of Daisy.
