Based on a true story, Kenneth Branagh plays A. O. Neville, who believes in eugenics. The film portrays three half-caste Aboriginal girls who are kidnapped from their mothers and sent north to Perth to be educated to be white. Two girls escape and using the skills they learned in the outback, elude the white trackers sent to bring them back. You will never forget A. O. Neville's lecture on eugenics, nor the story of the young girls attempt to get home.
