A film that stands on it's own as an excellent near tragi-comedy, but within its historical context... it's bloody mad!

A film version of the notorious events surrounding the demonization and media witchhunt of the religiously nutty mother of a baby who was gobbled by dingoes near Ayers Rock..... the famous 'dingo baby case'.
