[Commpsych] FW: Don't miss tonight's doco-film on SBS - The Tall Man

[Heather Gridley]

If you missed the Community Psychology Film Fundraiser in November, don't miss tonight's showing on SBS of The Tall Man -



Based on the book by Chloe Harper, The Tall Man chronicles the events surrounding the death in custody case of Cameron Doomadgee at the Palm Island police station in Queensland. In 2004, Doomadgee was arrested for drunkenness. Forty-five minutes later he was dead and his injuries were likened to someone who had suffered a fatal car crash, while police claimed he had tripped on a step. This gritty, compelling documentary follows the trial of the Senior Sergeant involved (Chris Hurley) as well as the Doomadgee family as they struggle to understand exactly what happened on that fatal evening



Highly recommended - could be worth a PD reflection/discussion afterwards
