Apex Gang: Behind the Headlines (2017)

As Melbourne struggles with increased youth crime, one particular group have fallen under the spotlight. The so-called 'Apex' captured the attention of the press, the police, and the imagination of the public. But who are they? Are they a serious threat or just a bunch of kids demonised out of proportion to their activities? Apex Gang - Behind the Headlines seeks to look beyond the media hype at a community under intense scrutiny. Working closely with the South Sudanese community, this documentary goes to the heart of what it takes to make a multicultural society and gives pause to those who have forged a view of migrant communities based on stereotypes by separating myth from reality.
