Show Notes
It's been revealed the documentary on the disappearance of Tom Phillips will screen on Netflix.
He and his children were missing for four years, and the saga ended with a shootout in September, killing the fugitive.
Dame Julie Christie is creating a documentary on the case with the help of the Police and has been granted exclusive access.
Massey University’s James Hollings told Ryan Bridge the primary concern with Netflix screening the documentary, is that it will play out overseas.
He says the case has a lot of legal tangle and suppressions surrounding it, and it’s hard to know how that will play out or if it will be respected overseas.
