AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Set against the lush, mountainous landscapes of Australia's island state, and with a narrative that highlights how a menacing past can inexorably intrude on the present, Foxtel's The Kettering Incident has all the hallmarks of the Tasmanian gothic genre. Beyond this, the series appropriates science fiction elements to convey a powerful message about the struggle between commercial self-interest and environmental preservation, writes Emily Bullock.
