I
love a good mystery and obviously so does the director The
Prime Minister is Missing. This fascinating documentary takes the viewer on
a modern investigation of the disappearance of Prime Minister Harold
Holt who allegedly "drowned" on a Victorian beach during 1967.
The
people Australia were in shock from the news and considering that
the Vietnam War was still strong, many hoped that he was safe and
well. Some say that foul play was involved, others have huge
conspiracy theories, however the investigated technology and
procedures at the time were quite
limited and with new forensic evidence, a different interpretation
is given on this great Australian mystery.
During the time of Holt, the police
investigation were convinced that Prime Minister Harold Holt
had accidentally drowned but with the Cold War paranoia growing,
this fuelled wide rumors to other dark answers.
The Prime Minister is Missing explores the many theories and facts
that gives the viewer new evidence into his disappearance and explores
some of the secrets that he was involved in before his
disappearance.
Although the documentary does not give any true
concrete answers, it does explore a variety of scenarios that will
make you think and without spoiling the documentary, it raises some
strong political agendas of the time.
Gripping from start to finish!
