Key Themes in "Rabbit Proof Fence"

While watching the "Rabbit Proof Fence" although non-fiction, at times I felt was a bit unbelievable, which correlates this feeling I have to one of many themes that were present in the film. The one theme I am speaking of is determination. These three young girls had to be determined in order to overcome this challenging adventure they had to face. Another key theme in the film was courage, because the girls knew the trip they were making wasn't an easy one, and they had to have courage to even begin this journey. Finally another key theme, perhaps the most important, is love. With their love for not only their mother, but for each other, they were able to come out of their trip somewhat successful. Love is what helped fuel their determination and courage, therefore is the most important key theme and element in the film. Without love they most likely would have never embarked on the journey and never would've been reunited with their mother.
