Australia's aboriginal integration program of the 1930s broke countless hearts -- among them, those of young Molly (Evelyn Sampi), Gracie (Laura Monaghan) and Daisy (Tiana Sansbury), who were torn from their families and placed in an abusive orphanage. Without food or water, the girls resolve to make the 1,500-mile trek home. Meanwhile, a well-intentioned tracker is trying to return the girls to the authorities.

Rated PG 93 minutes 2002

5 stars. Captions. POWERFUL movie. It was a really hard movie to watch with all of the racism and "good-intentions" of the white people and the heartache and destruction of the Aboriginals way of life. But these girls dream of home and that's what they go for despite all odds.
