Milperra is a name that will be remembered in infamy. On September 2nd,
Fathers Day 1984, two motorcycle clubs – the Bandidos and the
Comancheros – went to war at a public swap meet. After a brief but
violent battle, seven people had been shot dead, including a 14 year old
innocent bystander, and some forty other club members needed
hospitalisation. Brothers in Arms is the story of how that day came to
pass.
In announcing the cast, TEN Executive Producer Rick Maier says: "There
is obviously a great responsibility to tell a story like this
truthfully, respectfully and with conviction - so we felt very
privileged to see this outstanding ensemble come together. This was a
complex shoot and we think that across the board they have delivered the
performance of their careers."
Based on the book by Lindsay Simpson and Sandra Harvey, Brothers in Arms
is written by Greg Haddrick (Crownies, Underbelly, The Society Murders,
My Husband My Killer, MDA), Roger Simpson (Satisfaction, Stingers,
Halifax fp, Good Guys, Bad Guys) and Jo Martino (Satisfaction, Winners &
Losers, Carla Cametti PD, Stingers). The six-hour miniseries is being
directed by Peter Andrikidis (The Straits, Killing Time, East West 101,
Underbelly, Jessica, My Husband My Killer).
Shot in and around Sydney, Brothers In Arms is series produced on behalf
of SCREENTIME Australia by Roger Simpson, and produced by Louisa Kors
(The Slap, Cloudstreet, Satisfaction) with SCREENTIME’s Des Monaghan and
Greg Haddrick and Network TEN’s Rick Maier as executive producers.
