Document: Mr Sin and The Inquisition

Hugh Piper's portrait of Abe Saffron, Mr Sin: the Abe Saffron Story (2010) and Rachel Landers' account of the Wood Royal Commission, The Inquisition (2010) each allow an interesting examination of story and storytelling technique in contemporary documentary. One film offers a straight portrait; the other tries to tease out the mechanics of justice and its consequences.
