The Cape
A chilling documentary about the mysterious tragedies befalling an isolated fishing community in Australia’s Cape York from Emmy and previous SFF award winner Michael Ware (Only The Dead, SFF 2015).
A chilling documentary about the mysterious tragedies befalling an isolated fishing community in Australia’s frontier-like Cape York Peninsula, as revealed in interviews with family, locals and officials. When a 10-year-old boy and his father vanish while checking their shark nets, it unravels a dynastic alliance between powerful fishing clans. A mother and son are accused of murder, while a love triangle gone horribly wrong raises questions of guilt and complicity that ripple out far beyond the alleged killers. Special Guest
