In synchronicity with TMA’s featured exhibit, Crossing Cultures, the museum will screen Rabbit Proof Fence as part of the Its Friday! program on Friday, May 24. The film, set in 1930s Australia, tells the story of three native Australian girls, plucked from their homes and sent to live in indentured servitude. Their new hosts try to protect the girls from their perceived selves. The girls make their escape, guided through the wild by the titular fence, evading capture by their racist pursuers. Free. 7:30pm in the Little Theater, Toledo Museum of Art. 2445 Monroe St. 419-255-8000. www.toledomuseum.org —JS
