Abstract

Following recent developments in adaptation studies, which tend to interrogate the intertextual relations between the written and the visual, this article analyses Rabbit-Proof Fence (Noyce, 2002), in terms of the complex intertextuality which brings it together: the source-book, Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence (1996) by Doris Pilkington-Garimara; the Bringing Them Home (1997) report, about the forced separation of Aboriginal children from their families; the texts and political action for national reconciliation in Australia, and finally, the biographies and participation of the young actors and their indigenous communities. All contribute to the visual transfer and articulation of a film in which the interweaving of history and art is a constitutive element.
