Workplace disputes are common enough, but to be tormented and bullied to the point of the mad and macabre committed here is a heinously violent act. The Nothing Men drags you into this compelling world where you are forced to witness the cruelty that drove one man to his most prime-evil state. The Nothing Men is an account of the tragedy and events that led a man to the darkest corners of the human psyche and to one of the most bizarre crimes in Australian history. After winning three Australian government script development grants because of it's 'real life' content and confronting subject matter, The Nothing Men' film was made and instantly deemed too hard hitting, too ferocious. After three Hollywood screenings and three standing ovations, Oscar winning Producers called it "The real deal". We did not dilute the cruelty and brutality, just as we didn't downplay the horrific events that lead to headline news. We did not hide the horror and carnage committed here, nor disengage from the enormity of such events. See for yourself what really happened inside this factory. This is our film.
