Movie to be made about Sydney Gang rapists
It's been revealed that a movie called Wrong Girls, which will focus on a Sydney gang rape in 2000 led by brothers, Bilal and Mohamed Skaf, is currently in pre production and will begin shooting as early as next month.
The rape was one in a series of attacks in which four women were gang raped in threee separate incidents with Bilal Skaf recieving 55 years jail but that was later reduced on appeal.
The movie directed by Michael Jenkins (well known for his crime mini series Blue Murder) will direct Wrong Girls which is expected to focus on a Sydney teenager who was gang raped by 14 men 25 times over 6 hours.
So far the film has recieved $51,000 funding from the NSW State Government and the Federal Governments with $21,000 coming from the purse strings of the NSW Film and Television Office with Deputy NSW Premier, John Watkins claiming he was unaware that the NSW Government had given money to the making of the film but he says he is dismayed that such a film is being made
The NSW Rape Crisis Centre said that the making of the film would only trigger the pain felt by all victims of sexual assault while Opposition shadow minister for Police, Mike Gallacher has also questioned the making of fhe fllm, calling it a waste of money and says that the money could be used in other areas and essential services.
This is an awful waste of money...what sick person would want to go and watch a film about a couple of criminals who deserve to rot in jail? It defies belief that ANY government would contribute money to the making of such an awful sounding movie...there are so many things that the State and Federal Governments could have done with that money eg: health, water, the drought etc. One question also has to be asked who gave the rubber stamps for funding to be given to this movie?
