"The Intervention": ABC 30 Oct

A record of the first year of the Emergency Intervention in the Northern Territory region of Katherine and the surrounding communities. Thursday, 30th October 9.30pm on the ABC.

"....an insightful, if dispiriting, vision of the bureaucratic dysfunction, endemic poverty and alcoholism that still plagues parts of central Australia and how the Intervention, despite some improvements, made some people's difficult lives even more so. The film poses the question of whether the Intervention was really worth it, given so few convictions for sexual abuse have been recorded. Decide for yourself."
