The Disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain
The Disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain is a 1983 Australian television docufilm about the Azaria Chamberlain case. Executive producer Michael Thornhill later said that "I don't have strong opinions about it [the film]. There are quite a few cheats in it, but at least what it did do – I'm not emotionally close to it – was put the audience in the view of I, the Jury. It has an enormous following in northern Europe. I think [director] Judy [Rymer] did a terrific job. I think it was interesting but, again, it's not a personal project." The film was also released on VHS as Who Killed Baby Azaria?.
