Rabbit Proof Fence Documentary - forced removal scene

This is a short clip showing the filming of a scene for Rabbit Proof Fence. Here's a description of the film from IMDB:
"This is the true story of Molly Craig, a young black Australian girl who leads her younger sister and cousin in an escape from an official government camp, set up as part of an official government policy to train them as domestic workers and integrate them into white society. With grit and determination Molly guides the girls on an epic journey, one step ahead of the authorities, over 1,500 miles of Australia's outback in search of the rabbit-proof fence that bisects the continent and will lead them home. These three girls are part of what is referred to today as the 'Stolen Generations'."

You would be better served to read the Royal Commission into the events at Forrest River Mission.

Mothers do not give up their children willingly and passively,

neither do children leave their mothers without any reluctance.

The whole episode of white oppression on Australia's indigenous population shames us all.

Until we acknowledge and actively redress this shame, Australia will never achieve what she could.

O..kay disregarding all comments on this so far...I'm White Australian....I do not want to cause a debate...but Rabbit Proof Fence is one of THE most favourite movies....highly recommend ALL actors and so forth...and the behind the scenes takes....it is part of a foreboding history us WHITES should endure....love everything about it...about to buy the movie...it's just as Australian as Wolf Creek.

2. The car doors weren't locked. When Mr. Neville was distracted by Molly and her mother, Daisy and Gracie could have escaped.

The flaw here was just that Mr. Neville was on his own. The scene would be perfect if there were one or more men assisting the abduction.

Acting is undeniably great and very realistic, especially the actors of Molly, the mother and Mr. Neville.

But there are some loopholes to this scene.

1. Mr. Neville was by himself. So no one else was cornering the mother and her children's backs. They could have gotten away by turning into another direction and ran.
