In 1931, three aboriginal girls were snatched from their homes and placed in one such school. This movie is a dramatized account of their escape and subsequent attempt to cross the continent in order to rejoin their families.
Not only is this story exciting, in the extras on this PG-rated, 94-minute award winner, we are given the privilege of meeting the actual women, now very elderly.
Playing real people, we see:
- Everlyn Sampi as Molly Craig;
- Tianna Sansbury as Daisy Craig Kadibill;
- Laura Monaghan as Gracie Fields;
- Jason Clarke as Constable Riggs;
- Kenneth Branaugh as A. O. Neville; and
- David Gulpilil as Moodoo the tracker.
