Lindy Chamberlain: The True Story ( Study Guide)

Lindy Chamberlain's story has figured in Australia's collective consciousness since 1980 when a dingo took her baby from a tent at Uluru. It quickly became a story about much more than that: the intrigue of the mostly unknown and untamed outback; of parents – particularly mothers – not behaving in ways that were believed to reflect conventional expectations; of a ruthless media that sensationalised the story; of self-serving politicians and cowboy police. It resulted in the trial of the century and Australia's most notorious miscarriage of justice. Through interviews with Lindy, her children and eyewitnesses today, archival footage and broadcasts, and – for the first time – access to Lindy's personal archive of family stills, movies, audio recordings and letters, Lindy Chamberlain: The True Story is a compelling universal story that still resonates today. Forty years on, Lindy Chamberlain, her family, eyewitnesses, journalists, lawyers, judges, former politicians and authors talk candidly about the impact of the case on them and on Australia.
