1. Molly, Gracie and Daisy were referred to as “half-caste” children in the movie. They
represent a large portion of Indigenous Australians displaced during the ‘Stolen
Generation’. Reflect on what this displacement looks like (then and now), the impact
this has on Indigenous Peoples, and the lasting impact on our nation today.

2. The fence itself becomes very symbolic in the film. In other words, the fence can be
seen as more than a fence. Explain what you think this fence symbolises in the film?

3. Here is a quote from the blurb for the movie: “As shown by this outstanding motion
picture, their universally touching plight and unparalleled courage are a beautiful
testament to the undying strength of the human spirit.” Use some examples from the
film to state in your own words what this quote means.

4. Often we define quality of life based on the things that we possess. How would the girls
in the film define quality of life, and how would that definition be different than the
government of Australia’s definition?
