From the very beginning of the colonization of Australia, the treatment of Aborigine people was atrocious, but the end of the 19th century the codification of that treatment upticked sharply in an attempt to flat out remove the Aborigine people via cultural erasure and breeding, so when Molly Craig entered the world around 1915 the deck was heavily stacked against her.
After 14 year old Molly, and her sister and cousin, are all ripped away from their mothers' arms and transported almost 1,000 miles away to the other side of the country to be "re-educated and cared for" by white people, Molly makes one of the most epic decisions ever seen in Australia: She takes her sister and cousin, and they run away from the horrors of the camp to go back home...ON FOOT!
Her story is absolutely remarkable and it's one you certainly don't want to miss!
