===Feature film and television drama=== *The Australian film ''[[Rabbit-Proof Fence (film)|Rabbit-Proof Fence]]'' (2002), directed by [[Phillip Noyce]], was loosely based on the book ''[[Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence]]'' by [[Doris Pilkington Garimara]]. It concerns the author's mother and two other mixed-race Aboriginal girls who ran away from Moore River Native Settlement, north of Perth, and returned to their Aboriginal families. In a subsequent interview with the ABC, Doris recalled her removal in 1931 from her mother at age three or four, and subsequent rearing at the settlement. She was not reunited with her mother until she was 25; all those years, she believed that her mother had given her away. When the two women were reunited, Doris was no longer able to speak her native language and had been taught to regard Indigenous culture as evil.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.abc.net.au/message/tv/ms/s731524.htm |title=Doris Pilkington |publisher=abc.net.au |date=24 December 2002 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310114305/http://www.abc.net.au/message/tv/ms/s731524.htm |archive-date=10 March 2007}}</ref> *[[Baz Luhrmann]]'s 2008 film ''[[Australia (2008 film)|Australia]]'', starring [[Nicole Kidman]] and [[Hugh Jackman]], deals with the Stolen Generations. *The Australian film ''[[The Sapphires (film)|The Sapphires]]'' (2012), written by [[Tony Briggs]] and based on his 2004 stage play of the same name, tells the story of an Aboriginal [[girl group]] performing in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, with one member having been stolen from her family as a child. The film is loosely based on the lives of Briggs' mother and aunt.
