Underbelly 1: The Gangland Wars

image

Australia's #1 rating prime time drama

A compelling dramatisation of the true-life story of Melbourne’s infamous gangland killings starting in 1998 with the murder of gangster Alphonse Gangitano. As the wars escalated and public alarm grew, the police had to rely on unconventional tactics, highly sophisticated surveillance and sheer fearless, hard work. Finally, by 2005, almost all the criminals were either in jail, disappeared or dead. The final death toll stood at 33 in one of the bloodiest crime wars in the western world. EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Des Monaghan & Jo Horsburgh PRODUCERS: Greg Haddrick & Brenda Pam FORMAT AVAILABLE
