Blood Brothers Premiered on Nine on May 8, 2011
Blood Brothers, starring Lisa McCune, Tony Martin and Michael Dorman, is adapted from the true-crime book Blood Brother: Justice at Last, by Robin Bowles. It is the gripping story of Jeffrey Gilham (Dorman) who had a perfect life and lived in the heart of Sydney’s affluent and idyllic Shire district. He was handsome, educated, a champion athlete and a model son from a perfect family.
So why, on a freezing night in 1993, did this model son butcher his parents and brother? Or did he? The Gilham murders, Australia’s most sensational crime since the Azaria Chamberlain case, divided a community and inflamed the media.
Now, for the first time, the true story behind this shocking triple murder is told from the point of view of the two people who were most intimately affected: the victim’s brother Tony Gilham (Martin), who went on a 14-year crusade for justice; and Crown Prosecutor Margaret Kennedy (McCune) who found herself arguing a seemingly unwinnable case.
As this gothic tale twists and turns, viewers will remain passionately divided about the eventual trial and the guilty verdict, and what really happened that terrible night in the Gilham household.
Directed by Peter Andrikidis and produced by Playmaker Media (Wicked Love – The Maria Korp Story), Blood Brothers also stars newcomer Rick Donald, Jodi Gordon, Frankie J. Holden and Jonny Pasvolsky. Blood Brothers is a psychological thriller that reconstructs an amazing story. It is a chilling portrait of crime and punishment, and a compelling insight into the disturbing complexity of human nature.
