This is the true account of Nugi Garimara's mother, Molly, made legendary by the film "Rabbit-Proof Fence." In 1931, Molly led her two sisters on an extraordinary 1600-kilometre walk across remote Western Australia. Aged eight, eleven and fourteen, they escaped the confinement of a government institution for Aboriginal children removed from their families. Barefoot, without provisions or maps, tracked by Native Police and search planes, the girls followed the rabbit-proof fence, knowing it would lead them home. Their journey -- longer than many of the celebrated walks of recognised explorers -- reveals a past more cruel than we could ever imagine.
