Molly Kelly's Epic Outback Journey

At the age of 13, Molly Kelly, an Australian aboriginal girl, was forcibly separated from her family and placed in a government institution to serve as a domestic servant. She managed to escape and embarked on a remarkable journey, walking 1,000 miles across the unforgiving Australian outback to return home. Between 1905 and 1971, Australian authorities forcibly removed thousands of indigenous children from their families as part of the controversial policy known as the Stolen Generations.
