Synopsis

When a young Swedish couple went missing on a camping holiday in New Zealand the investigation into their disappearance attracted intense media interest. Months later David Wayne Tamihere was arrested and charged with their murders. The subsequent guilty verdict cast Tamihere's family into a nightmare. The Tamihere family were abused, ridiculed and scorned relentlessly by an outraged public, and an insatiable media. Ten years on, Pooley's documentary tells their story. Winner of 2000 Qantas Media Award, Best Documentary.
