It's the 1930's in outback Australia. Three young Aboriginal girls - sisters Molly (Everlyn Sampi) and Daisy (Tianna Sansbury) and their cousin Gracie (Laura Monagham) are snatched from their mothers' arms in Jigalong, Western Australia and sent to a remote settlement at Moore River.

1500 miles away from home, distanced from their mothers and forced to adapt to a strange new world, the girls attempt the impossible and embark on a daring escape. What ensues is an epic journey across an unforgiving landscape that will test the girls' very will to survive. Their only resources - tenacity, determination, ingenuity and each other. Their one hope - find the rabbit-proof fence that might just guide them home.

Rabbit Proof Fence was sold internationally by Hanway Films and was released in the USA by Miramax Films. Emile Sherman's former company Ocean Pictures distributed the film in Australia with Dendy Films, where it grossed over $8.7 million at the Australian box office.
