Rabbit-Proof Fence 4K 2002 Ultra HD 2160p

Western Australia, 1931. Government policy includes taking half-white, half-Aboriginal children from their Aboriginal mothers and sending them a thousand miles away to what amounts to indentured servitude, "to save them from themselves." Molly, Daisy, and Grace (two sisters and a cousin who are fourteen, ten, and eight) arrive at their Gulag and promptly escape, under Molly's lead. For several days they walk north, following a fence that keeps rabbits from settlements, eluding a native tracker and the regional constabulary. Their pursuers take orders from the government's "Chief Protector of Aborigines", A.O. Neville, blinded by Anglo-Christian certainty, evolutionary world view, and conventional wisdom. Can the girls survive?

User Review

The theme explored by the director in this film, as sad as it is to realize, will never lose its relevance. The domination of one stronger, more powerful, and more developed race over another, the denial of its rights, violence...

Only this time it is not in America with its African ethnic minority, but in Australia, the problem of the coexistence of Australians and Aborigines.

The film is not shot in an atmosphere of horror and fear, which is not out of the question given the subject matter, but in an atmosphere of loneliness and self-preservation instinct. The director did not simply sanctify such a harsh topic, which had been so long and carefully hidden, but showed it from the perspective of the feelings of the Aborigines, and not only that, but also the Aboriginal children, how they felt about it, what they felt about such an attitude towards them by ‘white’ people.

And, it must be said, the director did not try to exaggerate; the Aborigines treat this as completely normal, and only something on a subconscious level can tell them that it is not normal for one race to dominate another, since no one else will tell them this.

And little children, guided by their instincts, do what no one else has been able to do before - run away from the ‘white’ people...

And what can they do if some wrong things are passed on to us, almost through our blood.
Similarly, it is foolish to criticize the aborigines for not revolting against the colonizers, as they do not even imagine that they have any rights at all, let alone rights equal to those of their masters.

But we cannot help but rejoice at the fact that there are people who are sickened by this injustice and are ready to fight it, such as the creators of this film.
