Molly Kelly had a white father and an Aboriginal mother and was just a young girl when she was taken from her home.
She was stolen from her family and taken to a settlement where white people hoped to stamp out her Aboriginality.
But Molly escaped and walked one thousand miles home to her family, using a rabbit-proof fence as her guide.
Written and narrated by twelve-year-old Ruby Macheda.
