A brother's relentless quest for justice

Outlook

Available for over a year

In 1988 the naked body of Steve Johnson’s brother Scott was found at the bottom of cliffs near Sydney Australia. A verdict of suicide was reached. But this just didn’t make sense for Steve. The brothers were very close, they grew up with very little, but they always had each other. Both became successful in their respective fields. Scott loved life so why would he kill himself ? The question began Steve’s 35 year quest. Through many setbacks and extraordinary leaps forward he not only found the answer, but shone a light on a dark period in recent Australian history, which set the country on the path to reform.
