Michael Kirby: Don't Forget The Justice Bit
Content classification not on file. Please see the OFLC website for more information.
This biographical documentary on the Hon. Michael Kirby is the first documentary to be made about one of Australia’s most influential judicial figures, and had its television premiere on the ABC Compass Program on Sunday 27 June. Filmed during and after his time on the High Court of Australia, this portrait of Michael Kirby explores the personal, moral and spiritual convictions of one of our most compassionate and incisive legal minds. The internationally renowned jurist and legal thinker speaks candidly and with insight and humour about his path to the law and his personal and professional committment to human rights and justice. The film also traverses the captivating territory of his unique family and his enduring relationship with his partner of many decades, Johan van Vloten. Johan speaks for the first time about meeting Michael and their life together - their differences and also extraordinarily close bond. Michael Kirby, who is listed by the Bulletin as one of the top ten creative minds and in the top hundred of the most influential Australians of all time, also shares his insight on cases relating to terrorism laws and international human rights law.
