 CRITICAL
MOMENT
presents a free screening of *Rabbit-Proof Fence* in
honor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
...featuring music by the inimitable Peter Gabriel
7:30 PM on Thursday January 27, 2005 1040 Dana Building,
School of Natural Resources
Northeast
corner of the Diag on U-M Central Campus
In 1931, three young Australian girls, abandoned
by their European fathers, were forcibly taken from their
Aboriginal mothers in the Outback of western Australia and
taken by rail to a boarding school 1200 miles away. Their
seizure was part of the government’s ‘racial purity’policy
to isolate ‘half caste’ children from Aboriginal
society and
assimilate them into White society.Molly and Daisy nearly
became part of Australia’s ‘stolen generation’but
they escaped. *Rabbit-Proof Fence* (2002, 94 minutes) is the
true story of their ordeal and perilous journey home. The
film is based upon a book by Doris Pilkington Garimara, daughter
of the real life Molly Craig.
