‘The Bowraville Murders’ has been commissioned by SBS for its 2021 ‘Australia Uncovered’ strand.
The documentary, a co-production between Mint Pictures and Jumping Dog Productions, investigates the unsolved murders of three Aboriginal children who were killed in 1990-91 in rural NSW, and follows their families’ 30-year battle for justice.
News of the commission, announced at the Australian International Documentary Conference in early March, comes on the back of production funding from Screen Australia.
Directed by award-winning journalist and Gomeroi man Allan Clarke, it will be written by Stan Grant. Stefan Moore and Dan Goldberg are co-producers and co-writers on the project. Adam Kay and Susan Lambert are executive producers.
The project is financed with support from Screen Australia and Screen NSW as well as philanthropy through the Documentary Australia Foundation, with a campaign to raise the final $50,000 underway. To make a tax-deductible donation, click here.
