Fourteen-year-old Molly and her cousins Daisy and Gracie were mixed-race Aborigines. In 1931 they were taken away from their families and sent to a camp to be trained as good 'white' Australians. She and her cousins escaped and walked back to Jigalong, following the rabbit-proof fence north as part of their guide across the desert. This is the true story of that walk, told by Molly's daughter, Doris. It is also a prize-winning film.
