Rabbit-Proof Fence:
a â€œtrue storyâ€?
by Keith Windschuttle
Considering Phillip Noyceâ€™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 Greeneâ€™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.
