The Hunt for the Family Court Killer

Season 1

Murder, terrorism and assassinations re-examined by a tenacious female Chief Inspector. For 40 years a heinous chapter of crime in the name of family values remained unsolved. Told using a trove of archive together with a triple helix of perspectives of the victims, the policing, and the judiciary to access the socio-political contexts of the time, this powerful and engaging new series, examines a case of homeland terrorism in the 1980s, domestic violence and the upsurge of conservative men's groups in response to the progressive Family Court. It exposes a shocking chapter of Australian social history that has frightening relevance today.
