12Th & Delaware
12th & Delaware DIRECTORS: Rachel Grady, Heidi Ewing U.S.A., 2009, 90 min., color On an unassuming corner in Fort Pierce, Florida, it’s easy to miss the insidious war that’s raging. But on each side of 12th and Delaware, soldiers stand locked in a passionate battle. On one side of the street sits an abortion clinic. On the other, a pro-life outfit often mistaken for the clinic it seeks to shut down. Using skillful cinema-vérité observation that allows us to draw our own conclusions, Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing, the directors of Jesus Camp, expose the molten core of America’s most intractable conflict. As the pro-life volunteers paint a terrifying portrait of abortion to their clients, across the street, the staff members at the clinic fear for their doctors’ lives and fiercely protect the right of their clients to choose. Shot in the year when abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was murdered in his church, the film makes these FromFrom human rights to popular fears palpable.

Jock Ross, Recruiting Men to His Club with the Purpose of Being the One Dominant Motorcycle Gang in Sydney and Eventually Australia
A SCREENTIME production for Network Ten MEDIA KIT MEDIA CONTACTS Catherine Lavelle Kirsty Wilson FOR SCREENTIME NETWORK TEN PUBLICITY T 02 9405 2880 T 02 9650 1102 M 0413 88 55 95 M 0434 070 223 E [email protected] E [email protected] As at 20.3.12 Milperra a name that will be remembered in infamy. On September 2nd, Fathers Day 1984, two motorcycle clubs – the Bandidos and the Comancheros – went to war at a public swap meet. After a brief but violent battle, seven people had been shot dead, including a young innocent bystander, and some forty other club members needed hospitalisation. Brothers in Arms is the story of how that day came to pass. In the 1970s, the outlaw bikie scene was in its fledgling days. More wild west than organized crime, the Comancheros vied with many other motorcycle gangs for territory. As the tribes fought, the Comancheros were also fighting their own internal battle, with the Supreme Commander, Jock Ross, recruiting men to his club with the purpose of being the one dominant motorcycle gang in Sydney and eventually Australia. Not everyone agreed with his tactics. When the men challenged him, Jock split the club in what was a betrayal of his most loyal acolyte, Anthony “Snoddy” Spencer. With this act, Jock Ross misjudged the feelings of his men. Instead of staying with him, the majority mutinied, sticking with Snoddy who formed the Bandidos. And the seeds for Milperra were sown. With powerful forces within each of the rival clubs demanding retribution, a series of tit-for-tat attacks led to war being declared.

© ATOM 2014 A STUDY GUIDE BY MARGUERITE O’HARA http://www.metromagazine.com.au ISBN: 978-1-74295-533-9 http://www.theeducationshop.com.au CONTENTS 2 CURRICULUM GUIDELINES 3 THE CRIME GENRE 5 MAP OF THE AREA 6 CAST AND CREW 7 PRE-VIEWING ACTIVITY 7 SYNOPSIS 7 STUDENT ACTIVITIES: WATCHING, REFLECTING AND RESPONDING 11 RESOURCES AND REFERENCES CURRICULUM GUIDELINES Catching Milat is a dramatic reconstruction of how mem- bers of the NSW Police Department tracked down and secured the conviction of a notorious killer Ivan Milat. His murderous spree took place over a number of years in the early 1990s. While the film does show something of how Milat is thought to have operated and managed to escape detection for some years, the program is more concerned with the police enquiry (catching Milat); how the investigat- ing team were able to link his movements and behaviour to the murders through a meticulous process of gathering INTRODUCTION evidence and following up earlier leads. Catching Milat is a two-part drama based on the events surrounding the investigation that led to the arrest and conviction of serial killer Ivan Milat. Most characters play the roles of actual people, but certain events and charac- ters have been created or changed for dramatic effect. Incorporating stylised flashbacks and archival footage, Catching Milat is a television mini-series that returns viewers to a time when backpacking was a rite-of-pas- sage for young people eager to explore the world. Ivan Milat was arrested in 1994. Catching Milat is the story of the men who brought him to justice.
