Facing the Demons and its companion, Commentary on Facing the Demons: The Facilitator’s Perspective, are about a conference dealing with the murder of a young man in suburban Sydney.
The hour-long Facing the Demons documents the journey of the family and friends of murdered victim Michael Marslew, confronting face-to-face in a conference two of the offenders responsible for Michael’s death. The film, produced by the Dee Cameron Company, premiered in June 1999 on Australia’s public television network to widespread public and critical acclaim.
The 30-minute Commentary on Facing the Demons: The Facilitator’s Perspective is an essential companion to the Facing the Demons video. Commentary by Terry O’Connell—the Australian police sergeant who facilitated the dramatic conference—answers questions and addresses issues raised by the documentary.
