Comments: A just stunning set of extras that includes so many must-sees it isn't funny. The audio is very good, although it would have been nice to have had everyone together recording it, rather than the cut and place version we have here. There is lots of good information in it although its style does make it a little disjointed. The feature Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence is sensational! It is a warts and all behind-the-scenes look at the casting of the three children - and the many difficulties involved. One lip-quivering part came at the reaction of almost everyone on set to the addiction scene. The interviews are short, but informing, and they tell how being part of the Rabbit-Proof Fence affected them.
