Touching tale about the plight of the stolen generation in Australia.
This was my first exposure to the history of racism and forced relocation of aboriginal children in Australia. An incredibly powerful film.
Powerful true story that through impecable photography, music, acting and storytelling showcases wounds that are still open. Must watch.
Saw this in class and it was a compelling story, if you want to learn about that time period it is a good movie for that
A well-made movie that didn't blow me away. Not sure why. But it addresses an issue that not a lot of people talk about. Worth watching.
A part of history, Slow pace, drama. If you're interesting in this kind of movie, Rabbit-Proof Fance is amazing...
Inspiring story felt historically authentic. Excellent portrayals by the entire cast. A chance to visit the outback from your couch.
An important fil about a dark chapter in Australian history!
An interesting crash course on a dark side of Australian history. Kenneth Branagh protrays a chilling villain accurate to the period.
Very good, plot is entertaining but can get boring at times, still will have you wanting to see the end because of itswell writtencharacters
