 |
Inspired by the controversial events surrounding the death of Greens activist Juanita Neilsen and her fight to save homes from destruction by property developers in Sydney’s Kings Cross in the early 1970s.Jessica Simmonds (Liz Alexander) returns home from London and is shocked to find the street in which she grew up being torn apart to make way for a high rise development.When her father (Alexander Archdale), a vocal opponent of the developers, is killed in a fire in his home attributed to faulty wiring, Jessica takes up the cause of the local residents. Joining forces with Jeff Elliott (John Hargreaves), a union leader, they take the fight to the streets.
But as Jessica probes more into the background of the Angel Street development she unearths a sinister connection between the development group, organised crime and most disturbing, a conspiracy between the developer, the police and the highest level of government.
