Everlyn Sampi (Molly Craig) ran away twice during filming. In one instance, she was found in a phone booth, trying to buy tickets back to Broome.
The world premiere of this movie was held in an outdoor screening at Jigalong, the outback community from where the girls were taken, and where their families still live.
The last scene in the movie, which shows the real-life Molly Craig walking with a walking stick, was shot first. According to director Phillip Noyce, during an interview after a screening, Molly's age and health made it so that it would be best if that scene was shot first.
Doris Pilkington, author of the book "Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence", is the daughter of Molly Craig (played by Everlyn Sampi in this movie).
During filming, considerations had to be made to respect the Australian Indigenous Aboriginal culture. Drama coach Rachael Maza explained that permission needed to be sought from tribal elders to tell a Western Australian story in the Flinders Ranges region of South Australia, and also to speak the dialect chosen for the movie in that particular area. Maza explained: "This story's a black story, and Phillip Noyce's a white fella. There is a certain protocol, and much to his credit, he's asked the right people: "How do I go about doing this properly?"
"Daisy Kadibill: [after Molly lifts Daisy up to a bird's nest to gather some eggs to eat] Three of them! Molly Craig: Perfect. One for you, one for me, and one for both of us!"
