Beyond the Neck

The old man falls into his wife's arms. He cries. The young mother and wife sees the pile of washing she has dropped on the floor. She cannot stand so she slides down the door. The teenage girl as a child sits thinking she's in trouble but instead tells her mother the news. The boy walks home in silence. He feels the blood run down his cheek.

Four complete strangers, bound by a shared moment. The Tasmanian Port Arthur Massacre. Ten years on and still the aftershock ripples.

Based on in-depth interviews, Beyond the Neck deals with the grief and recovery of the 1996 tragedy.
