There are many similarities that can be seen between the Rabbit Proof Fence and Gandhi. There are similar fights that occur in both situations/movies; however, they differ in what is being fought for. In RPF we see that the aboriginals are not fighting for their land just yet, but rather the right to simply exist without being hunted down, killed, kidnapped, and all these other terrible things. In Gandhi, we see the road to re establishing India as it's own country, away from the Imperial British. When we look at Hawai'i, many activists would say that Hawaiians have somewhat overcome the hurdle that is represented in RPF...and in ways there is activism occurring that could be similar to that of Gandhi.
