A MODEL DAUGHTER: THE KILLING OF CAROLINE BYRNE

Trailer

In the early hours of June 8, 1995, model Caroline Byrne's body was recovered from the rocky shore below the sheer cliffs of the notorious Gap, the preferred suicide location in Sydney. Did she jump or was she pushed? Caroline's boyfriend Gordon Wood (David Lyons, Seven Seconds, Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams), a chauffeur and personal assistant to a stockbroker, claims she took her own life because of depression. The truth is only revealed through the strong belief of her father Tony Byrne (Garry McDonald, Mother and Son) that she wouldn't commit suicide and his dogged battle for justice. Caroline Byrne is played by Cariba Heine (Designated Survivor, Hiding, Adopted). McDonald was nominated for Australian Film Institute and Silver Logie awards for his role in this film. (TV Movie, 2009)
