Murders in Paradise: The Hidden History of Fiji
The true story behind a double gay murder in Fiji. The murder of John Scott, Head of Fijis Red Cross, and his gay partner is still clouded in rumour and political mystery. In a country that has become increasingly fundamentalist, many regarded the couple with hostility. Shortly before his death, Scott came to international acclaim helping hostages during the 2000 coup. Was his murder a political assassination; the result of a soured love affair or an act of insanity This award winning documentary uses the murders to examine Fijis history over the past 50 years. Narrated by Scotts brother, its a moving tale of colonial privilege, evangelical Christianity and a country still deeply divided. Director: ANNIE GOLDSON
