Police Sergeant Emma James works with Jay on the investigation and they uncover a past injustice that threatens the structure of the whole community.
This series is a six part spin-off from Ivan Sen’s feature films Master Road 2013 and Goldstone 2016. There is a LOT going on in this film!! Judy Davis has been in films from 1977 to 2015. She has been in television productions from 1980 and her latest is an upcoming series titled Ratched of 2020. I’ve seen her in My Brilliant Career 1979 and A Passage to India 1984. In this series, she is very thin and always in her police uniform. She has red straight short hair and this doesn’t do her any justice or help her with not looking old?
The scenery of Australia is very beautiful and also very vast and desolate in some places!! The makeup of their culture is about 91% white or multiracial people, mostly white and part white. There is 5% East Asian, 2% Indian 2% Aboriginal. There are approximately 123,000 full or partial Spanish descent. A large number of minorities put white in addition to their other race. There are three states/territories. Population of South Australia 1,717,000, Tasmania 519,100, Australian Capital Territory 406,400.
