Blue Murder, The Screenplay

Description

Set in Sydney in the 1970s and 1980s, 'Blue Murder' is the story of the friendship between drug dealer and robber Arthur Stanley 'Neddy' Smith and Detective Sergeant Roger 'The Dodger' Rogerson — and the pot of gold and broken lives that friendship produced. Ian David, the writer of 'Police Crop', 'Joh's Jury' and other TV dramas, researched the story extensively. He met with Neddy Smith and conducted hundreds of interviews as well as consulting published works such as 'Darren Goodsir's Line of Fire' and Neddy Smith's own autobiography 'Neddy'. The result is a powerful and frightening story about police corruption and Sydney's underworld.
