Rabbit Proof Fence (Peter Gabriel, The Return)

This is my second tribute to RPF - this one features actual video, not just clips ;) The music is called "The Return", by Peter Gabriel and is featured on the soundtrack entitled Long Walk Home. Enjoy!

@liketammysaids it just disgusts me what my european ancestors did to the indigenous australians in paticular in western australia which is where i am from and where the film is based. The days of the Stolen Generation is a bleak and disgraceful period in our history. I am so glad that as a former university history student today that I have learned the truth about australian history and learned from great indigenous historians such as marcia langton and henry briscoe.

@asevedo1 its called christianity believing itself to be superior to all other cultures and will use any excuse to destroy those it comes into contact with.

what is it in some men that they want to erase those that are different than them? i do not understand, but i am uplifted by every humans desire to be free and that maybe one day we will all understand.

A great film. Peter Gabriel's music is heart rending...

I went out to Australia in 2005. I spent 5 days in South Australia making my way North up the Territory. I stopped for 2 days at The Cave Hotel in C.Peedy. On a day trip out to the Breakaways we stopped off at the "Dog Fence" - what I want to know is - is the Dog Fence the same as the Rabbit Proof fence as I know it goes from East to West and North to South. Or is the Dog Fence a separate structure? Please don't laugh at my question. Australia has a place in my heart (I'm British).

@AbsentWithoutLeaving Very similar here in my country. We forced our Native American (Indians) onto reservations against their will. We were also kind enough to introduce nasty shit like cholera (among other diseases), alcohol and other drugs. Pretty sad state of affairs.

@Seattlecarnut Um, if you are from the US, then you should be aware of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and their own program of 'assimilation,' which followed identical footsteps. Our government did exactly the same thing to the native populations of this country. (We were also kind enough to given them cholera-infected blankets to get them through some rough winters, thereby lessening the population we had to assimilate...)

It's the way of conquerers...

Superb film, disgustingly, unimaginably cruel historical facts
