RABBIT-PROOF FENCE (2002)

Phillip Noyce is mostly known for his action/suspense films such as Dead Calm (1989) and The Saint (1997).  However, in this production he is outdoing himself with a vibrant survival story about the journey of three young back to their home from which they have been taken due to Australia's policy in regards to aborigines.  Rabbit-Proof Fence provides a great opportunity to visually experience the girls struggle to reach their goal to get home.  This struggle elevates the meaning of hope in our world.  In short, the story itself offers a brilliant cinematic experience with Kenneth Branagh as A. O. Neville enhancing the overall experience as well.
