August 16 movie

The Meet God at the Movies group selected Rabbit-Proof Fence as the topic for its discussion at 6:30pm Monday, August 16.

The 2002 Australian film is the story of three Aboriginal girls who escape from the Moore River Native Settlement, north of Perth, Western Australia, to return to their Aboriginal families, after being placed there in 1931. The film follows the three as they walk for nine weeks along 1,500 miles of the Australian rabbit-proof fence to return to their community at Jigalong, while being pursued by white law enforcement authorities and an Aboriginal tracker.

Participants view the movie on their own, then gather to plumb its theological implications in the areas of creation, sin, repentance, and redemption.
