Justice. Families and their communities have been waiting for 30 years to have answers about what happened to their missing and murdered children. It’s a tragic story that has made the rural NSW town of Bowraville, an hour’s drive from Coffs Harbour, infamous, overshadowing the community’s reputation as a quaint farming village.
With the lead suspect living amongst the community, the Gumbaynggirr parents of the murdered children go unheard by the police, with systemic racism blamed for their inaction.
It’s a true crime story that locals know well, but director Allan Clarke, for the first time, expertly formulates new information, a concise timeline, and paints a gripping and human portrait of one of Australia’s greatest personal miscarriages of justice to date.
