Disturbing gang assaults were being carried out on coastal cliffs around Sydney, and mysterious deaths officially recorded as ‘suicide’, ‘disappearance’ and ‘misadventure’.
Deep Water: The Real Story is a stunning feature-length documentary premiering Sunday October 16 at 8.30pm on SBS in Australia, in which individual stories are woven together by emotional first person interviews and detailed re-enactments, piecing together the facts of these unsolved cases, decades later.
