Get an original essay Molly, Daisy, and Gracie reside in the town of Jigalong, located in Western Australia. It is located along the fence connected to the rabbit-proof fence that runs for several thousand kilometers. A. O. Neville (Mr. Devil), the official Protector of the Aborigines of Western Australia, issues an order to move the three girls to the Moore River Native Settlement because he regards the girls as "half-caste" (having one Aboriginal parent and one white ). He believes that Aboriginal Australians are a threat to themselves and should be eradicated from existence, thus appropriately called Mr. Devil by the girls. His goal is to keep the three girls along with other “half-caste” people of the same age group in the camp where they will grow up and become servants of rich white families. And if people in the camp ended up marrying (to whites), Aboriginal blood would dwindle from Australian soil. During their stay at the camp, Molly notices rain clouds in the sky and comes up with a plan to escape the settlement as she believes the rain will mask their tracks making it nearly impossible to track them accurately. Daisy and Gracie decide to escape with Molly, thus undertaking the unthinkable and unimaginable journey of 1500 miles, barefoot. After noticing the girls' absence from the camp, Moodoo, an expert Aboriginal tracker, is hired to track them down. Despite Moodoo's efforts to find them, the girls do a really good job of covering up their tracks and escape from Moodoo many times with little help from the other Australians in the country. The girls end up finding the rabbit-proof fence and start following it since they know that such a large fence connects to their town of Jigalong. However, Neville is quick to realize their strategy and sends Moodoo after them. Moodoo fails once again and so Neville changes his plan and spreads the false rumor that Gracie's mother is waiting for her in the town of Wiluna. The Aboriginal traveler who helps the girls informs Gracie about her mother and puts her on a train to Wiluna, thus separating Gracie from Molly and Daisy. Gracie is captured again at the station and Molly and Daisy begin their journey again knowing they are no match for Neville's power and position and are therefore unable to save Gracie. After walking several thousand miles, Molly and Daisy finally return home and Neville finally gives up and ends their search. In the film's epilogue, it is revealed that Grace died and thus never returned to Jigalong. Molly along with her two daughters were again taken to the Moore River where she managed to escape with only one of her daughters, Anabelle. Molly describes having to walk along the Rabbit Proof Fence once again to get home. However, when Anabelle turned three, she was taken from her mother once again and Molly never saw her again. As we discussed in class, although the film has the same seed of idea with white atrocities on natives, it is quite different from the typical indigenous films we have seen so far. It has a completely different plot with a female protagonist and is set in a different country.
