Hostage of the State

THE JAMMED was about sex trafficking in Melbourne. More recently, the SOUND OF FREEDOM exposed the underground global market in child exploitation and sex trafficking – based on the life of a retired Federal agent and a dangerous mission into the Colombian jungles.

Unlike these two films, HOSTAGE OF THE STATE explores the brutal reality of here and now in Australia – a secret reality in plain sight orchestrated by public servants and the judiciary. These true accounts expose a deep corruption that is difficult to comprehend -- of how children are unlawfully removed from their parents by the state Child Protection agencies through “star chamber” style Children’s Courts across Australia to service a multi-billion-dollar 'cash for kids' industry. 

The director and writer of THE JAMMED now brings a 'follow up' film to the screens -- based on three true stories.
