 In 1931 Molly Craig, a young Aboriginal girl, was stolen as part of a Australian government policy to integrate mixed race children into white society.
Molly escaped and led her two sisters on a 1500 mile walk home, using the rabbit-proof fence that bisects the continent as her guide.
A film based on her story opens in the UK this Friday. Jenni talks to Molly's daughter, Doris Pilkington Garimara, an author determined to expose the truth about this shameful episode in Australia's history.
Rabbit Proof Fence opens in the UK on Friday, certificate PG
