This is Real

This is Real reframes the 1981, 60Minutes interview by Ray Martin with Sallie-Anne Huckstepp, when she publicly accused Detective Sergeant Roger Rogerson of murder, corruption and conspiracy.

Although Martin questions cast Sallie-Anne as a proxy for her murdered partner, disparaging her as a sex-worker and therefore unbelievable, history has vindicated her story.  This maipulated footage is juxtaposed with stylized opening credits from police dramas from the time, underscored with a theme-song remix by acclaimed musician Ev Morris, the work uncovers how media/narratives shape our perceptions of crime and gender, reality and entertainment. This work is motivated by Sallie-Anne’s adamant bravery as a whistleblower.
