Whitlam two-part doco among Screen Australia’s $2m funding round
Gough Whitlam
The story of former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam’s time in power and the changes of the era is among five documentary projects to receive $2m of investment from Screen Australia
Whitlam, produced by Beyond Screen Productions and Bombora Film and Music Co, will be a 2×55-minute documentary written and directed by Paul Clarke with Penny Robins producing, and Robins and Mark Hamlyn executive producing.
Sounds very much like an obituary for Gough when he finally falls off the perch. Aunty getting in early to have everything lined up ready to go like they did with their hour-long tribute to the Queen Mum which was rushed to air within an hour of her death.
Hoin, I think you will find that every network, radio broadcaster and newspaper has footage and articles already compiled for such events. As a matter of fact, there have been instances of a royal death being accidentally aired!
