What happens
The Killing of Angel Street is a 1981 Australian thriller film loosely based on the Builders Labourers Federation (BLF) green bans against development in inner Sydney city waterside suburbs. It briefly touches on the real-life disappearance of Juanita Nielsen, an activist against mass development in Sydney in the late 1970s. The film was directed by Donald Crombie and shot in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. In the commentary on the DVD, the location is incorrectly stated as Edward Street in Balmain (East). In fact, the location was Weston Street, at the end of Paul Street. The mysterious disappearance of Juanita Nielson also inspired Phillip Noyce, who directed the 1982 film Heatwave.
