Rabbit proof fence

I watched this on Jonathan's ipad.  It is the story of three young aboriginal girls who are forcibly removed from their families in the 1930s, and sent to live in a childrens home run by nuns, thousands of miles from their home.  They strive to run away and find their way home, by following the fence.  Although it is a shameful part of history, I just didn't really engage with the story very much as it was portrayed in the film. Some of the scenery on the journey was pretty stunning.
