Today we are embroiled in controversy. My brother, my sister and I have been contacted by the makers of a docu-drama about the Thunderbolt story. Different people, some with a vested interest in making money out of this, have varying stories to tell. This docu-drama on the life of Thunderbolt will be released shortly, the website is www.thunderboltmovie.com, final filming takes place this weekend.
We've been asked for an interview for the movie, but as it was our brother Barry who did all the research, he is the only one who would have been qualified to comment, none of the rest of us have the extensive knowledge he had on the subject. Unfortunately with Barry's death last year, the knowledge has died with him. His papers are available, however, for anyone who may like to look into this thoroughly.
I brought a copy of the book with me, but I've just given it away, otherwise I may have been prepared to say something based on Barry's conclusions. Interesting stories surrounding these bushrangers, look forward to the movie.
