"Rabbit-Proof Fence: A 'true story'?"

Rabbit-Proof Fence:
a “true story”?

by Keith Windschuttle

Considering Phillip Noyce’s current film.

EXCERPT:

Rabbit-Proof Fence is ostensibly an adventure story of female bravery and ingenuity in which three Aboriginal girls escape from an oppressive institution in Western Australia and make a fifteen-hundred-mile journey back to their home. In reality it is a work every bit as politically committed as Graham Greene’s. If anything, the anti-Australianism of the latter film outdoes the anti-Americanism of The Quiet American.

That, from the current issue of New Criterion not-on-line. But I have the hard copy, should anyone care to scan it in.
