Series home•Feed

Powerful testimonies from two survivors of the NSW Police workforce play out over eight episodes. Former police lawyer, Lina Nguyen is both rape victim, and survivor, chillingly groomed by a cop she trusted at a police farewell party. Mark Davidson was the sniper at the heart of the Lindt Cafe Seige at Martin Place, in 2014, who remains traumatised by what wasn't revealed in the Coronial Inquest into that event. They're passionate about justice, and together challenge everything that lies at the heart of police culture and the legal system as we know it. Sound Engineer: Judy Rapley
