Synopsis

Ghosthunter is the story of a western Sydney security guard and part-time ghost hunter who has spent two decades searching for his absent father. As a survivor of trauma, he seeks to reconcile his fractured memories and piece together his past. When his search converges with a police investigation, a family secret is exposed — forcing him to confront a brutal past in order to reclaim his future.

Awards and Festivals

“An incredibly powerful, riveting, unpredictable and haunting documentary on one man’s exploration into the mysterious events of his childhood and how those traumatic experiences shaped him today as a man. This is an absolute must see - 5/5”

“Ghosthunter reminded me why a great documentary can beat any other genre: nobody is more interesting than real people.”
