 Molly Kelly
The lead paragraph from the AP obit in Friday's New York Times:
SYDNEY, Australia, Jan. 15 — Molly Kelly, whose childhood trek across 1,000 miles of the Australian desert to return to her Aboriginal mother inspired the 2002 movie "Rabbit-Proof Fence," died on Tuesday at her home in Jigalong in Western Australia, her family said. She was thought to be 87.
The movie is great.

"... If ...space science program funding is redirected to the
(however worthy) human exploration program, it could be a major setback
to our exploration of the wider universe."
