S3 Ep3 The beats generation
from SBS True Stories Hosted by SBS Television and Online
Beats are secretive places – they provide anonymity for men seeking sex, but this secrecy also provides a cover and protection for their attackers. “Todd” ran away at 16 and lived on the streets of Adelaide. The street kids he hung out with used to head to beats and used Todd as bait to lure men into the bushes. This wasn’t the only group targeting homosexuals at beats. Listed as iTunes Best Podcasts of 2015, True Stories returns with Season Three: a special five-part investigation into the untold true stories of Adelaide's gay-hate murders, told by award-winning Australian journalist, Mark Whittaker. The series is adapted from Mark's true crime long-read which will be published online at the end of the series. True Stories Season Three is inspired by the SBS network event Deep Water - a drama, documentary and online investigation unearthing gripping true crime stories and a buried chapter of Australia’s recent history. sbs.com.au/truestories Journalist: Mark Whittaker Producers: Gina McKeon & Martin Peralta Mix, Music and Sound Design: Martin Peralta Additional music: Gonzalo Peralta Illustrator: Jeremy Lord Commissioned by: Ben Naparstek & Kylie Boltin Actor: Laurence Coy #SBSTrueStories True Stories is commissioned and produced by Australia's multicultural broadcaster, SBS.
