Synopsis

Set against the sweeping landscapes of Western Australia, Long Journey Home is a powerful and heart-wrenching miniseries that brings to life the extraordinary legacy of Doris Pilkington Garimara, the Aboriginal author who reclaimed her heritage to become a voice for her people’s resilience. The series follows Doris, born Nugi Garimara, from her early years torn away from her family under Australia’s assimilation policies, to her courageous journey of rediscovery and storytelling that culminated in her iconic work, Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence. Taken to the Moore River Native Settlement—a place designed to sever cultural ties—young Doris is raised in a system that denies her true identity, language, and family. Through courage and defiance, she grows into a woman determined to honor the strength of her mother, Molly Craig, and to reclaim the narratives of countless Indigenous people silenced by history. Each episode reveals Doris’s struggles and triumphs: her journey to reconnect with her family, her efforts to record her mother’s incredible escape from Moore River, and her rise as an author who would go on to bring international attention to Australia’s Stolen Generations. The series juxtaposes her quest for self-discovery with the enduring hope and resilience of Aboriginal culture, ultimately portraying a family’s unbreakable bond across generations.

Description of Molly Craig:

Molly Kelly was an Australian Martu Aboriginal woman, known for her escape from the Moore River Native Settlement in 1931 and the subsequent 1,600 km (990 mi) trek home with her half-sister Daisy Kadibil (née Burungu) and cousin Gracie Cross (née Fields). She was a member of the Stolen Generations, who were part-white, part-Aboriginal children forcibly removed from their families by the Australian government. Her story was the inspiration for the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence and the film Rabbit-Proof Fence.
