Controversial Crime Stories

The Crewe murders were New Zealand's first controversial court case to be played out in the television age. In the decades since, several other controversial cases have been the subject of high profile documentaries and films. This Spotlight collection includes award-winner Relative Guilt, about the David Wayne Tamihere case, a spirited discussion on the David Bain case, and Scott Watson documentary Murder on the Blade?. The latter was directed by Keith Hunter, one of our leading “miscarriage of justice” filmmakers.
