Hounds of Love – Inspired by Kate Moir, David and Catherine Birnie

November, 1986. A young woman, beaten and disheveled, has run from lawn to lawn screaming she has been raped, and for anyone to call the police. This woman, this hero, finds herself ultimately responsible for bringing down two of Australia’s most notorious serial killers.

In 2016, writer and director Ben Young creates a film frighteningly close to the real story of Kate Moir’s tragic encounter with David and Catherine Birnie, despite not quite acknowledging it.
