The Hilton Conspiracy
2 part TV movie
While investigating the story of The Hilton bombing in 1978, which killed 3 people and injured many others, journalist Susan Kay’s persistent quest to find out what happened uncovers a ‘false flag’ operation which led to the wrongful imprisonment of three young men who were used as scapegoats for a bomb that was never supposed to explode. It was considered Australia’s first act of terrorism. Susan’s pursuit of the truth exposes a corrupt judicial and political system intent on expanding its powers at the cost of civil liberties.
To this day, the Hilton Bombing is still an unsolved crime.
Inspired by the books: ‘Bombs, Bliss and Baba’ by Paul Narada Alister and ‘Spies, Bombs and the Path of Bliss’ by Tom Molomby.
