Re-education from down-under

Rabbit-Proof Fence – a shocking story. Well, shocking to me as I am an American and not that familiar w/ the particulars of Australian history – usually too blown away at the atrocities committed on this land that I forget how much damage the colonization has done to almost all indigenous peoples the globe over. It was totally worth hanging around thru the entire story to see what ended up happening to the girls. The plight of the "half-caste" children was scary. An ever-present truth of the proof, if it could happen there it can happen again somewhere else.

Back to the film: the girls were truly enchanting; the star was "Moodoo" the tracker who hardly utters a word, but steals every scene. AND on a further sidenote they built a fence across Australia!!! - DUDE: that's like a continuous fence from Mexico straight up the middle to Canada - they certainly never covered that in the history books they taught me out of.
