The cops were bent and the crims were cool and together they ran the most exciting street in Australia. Strippers, gamblers, gunmen, dealers, bouncers, bagmen – they all came to the Golden Mile. Then, in 1995, ‘tomorrow’ came and the Wood Royal Commission cleaned out the Black Empire within the NSW Police. But it left behind a mess that took years of mayhem to bring under control. This is the story of the excesses of the empire, the collapse of the era, the chaos that followed, and the ultimate victory of strong and honest police… seen through the eyes of some of the most sexy, charming, corrupt and deadly people of the time. Australia’s #1 rated primetime drama of the past three years. EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Des Monaghan, Greg Haddrick & Jo Horsburgh PRODUCERS: Peter Gawler & Elisa Argenzio FORMAT AVAILABLE
