This is an extraordinary story of courage and faith.
Of all the journeys made since white people set foot on Australian soil, the 1931 journey made by these girls born of Aboriginal mothers and white fathers speaks something to us all..
They were not even allowed to speak their language.
Solitary confinement was doled out as regular punishment.
Settlement life was unbearable with its chains and padlocks, barred windows, hard cold beds and horrible food.
But their torment was just beginning.
Never having seen the ocean before, the three girls\' experience of transportation by boat to the settlement was tormenting.
Assimilationist policy deemed these girls were taken from their kin and their land in order to be made white.
It is based on the actual experiences of three girls who fled from the repressive life of Moore River Native Settlement, following along the Rabbit-Proof Fence back to their homelands.
