Biography

En 1973, au lycée Caulfield, Mick Harvey fait la connaissance de Nick Cave, Tracy Pew et Phill Calvert, avec lesquels il monte son premier groupe, The Boys Next Door, dont il coécrit la chanson The nightwatchman, et qui deviendra The Birthday Party, en 1978. À la fin des années 1970, le groupe, partie prenante de la scène post-punk locale, donne de très nombreux concerts dans toute l'Australie avant de changer de nom en 1980 pour devenir The Birthday Party et de s'installer en Europe cette année là, d'abord à Londres, puis à Berlin-Ouest. Il écrit ou compose également plusieurs chansons pour le groupe - Just You and Me, Wildworld, Mutiny in heaven, Fears of Gun entre autres - et y tient le rôle de batteur, claviériste, bassiste ou guitariste et en 1983, The Birthday Party se sépare à Berlin. Nick Cave et Mick Harvey forment alors Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds avec Blixa Bargeld, musicien de Einstürzende Neubauten, Anita Lane, le bassiste Barry Adamson du groupe Magazine et le guitariste Hugo Race. Ils enregistrent From Her To Eternity en 1984, premier album de la formation. Par la suite, la composition du groupe évoluera. Mick Harvey a été pianiste et compositeur du morceau fétiche des Bad Seeds, The Mercy Seat, écrit à Berlin et joué à l'occasion de la quasi-totalité des concerts qu'il a donnés depuis 1988.

L’album Dirty Pearl est une compilation de collaborations entre Anita Lane et Mick Harvey, producteur et compositeur des musiques de trois titres (Jesus Almost Got Me, The Groovy Guru, The World's A Girl). En janvier 2009, pour une série de raisons personnelles et professionnelles, Mick Harvey décide de quitter les Bad Seeds. De 1988 à 1990, il a fait partie de Crime and the City Solution, puis a publié en solo, dans les années 1990, deux albums d’adaptations en anglais de chansons de Serge Gainsbourg : Intoxicated Man et Pink Elephants. Anita Lane participe aux deux albums de reprises de Serge Gainsbourg produits et interprétés par Mick Harvey : Intoxicated Man en 1995 et Pink Elephants en 1997. Mick Harvey coécrit plusieurs chansons de l'album, dont le single The World’s a Girl, puis à l'album Sex O'Clock, en 2001.

Mick a contribué en tant que musicien, arrangeur ou coproducteur des albums To Bring You My Love, Is This Desire?, Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea et Let England Shake de PJ Harvey. Il apparaît sur un titre de l’album Dance Hall at Louse Point de PJ Harvey et John Parish, en 1996. Il n'a aucun lien de parenté avec la chanteuse britannique.

The film chronicles O'Grady's years as a priest in Northern California, where he committed his crimes. After being convicted of child molestation and serving seven years in prison, O'Grady was deported to his native Ireland. Berg interviewed him there in 2005 for the film. Additionally, the film presents trial documents, videotaped depositions, and interviews with activists, theologians, psychologists, and lawyers; it suggests that Church officials were aware of O'Grady's crimes, and they took steps to conceal them to protect him and the church.

In the isolated and fictional South Australian fishing town of Prospect Bay, the only thing that connects the black and white communities is football. Gary "Blacky" Black (Nathan Phillips) and Dumby Red (Luke Carroll) are an exception; teenage best friends from different sides of the tracks. Dumby is the star of the football team and likely to become the next big Aboriginal star in the big leagues. Gary is the bookish son of hard-drinking and brutal white fisherman Bob Black (Simon Westaway). He is attracted to Dumby's beautiful sister, Clarence (Lisa Flanagan). Blacky's supportive mother helps him become a better player as he is chosen to be the ruckman in the teams upcoming grand final. Blacky has to overcome thumper, the star player for the opposition. When gameday arrives Blacky at first struggles to make an impact on the game but Dumby inspires the team kicking several goals. When Dumby gets a mark near goals with the scores tied he hands it off to a team mate instead of taking the shot. The player kicks a point and blacky has to run into thumper to stop him from kicking the winning goal. Their team wins the premiership, but Dumby and Blackys elation is short-lived. Dumby is passed over for the best-on-ground medal for the coach's son Simon Robertson. Dumby is disgusted and angered by the obvious racially motivated decision.

The story is set in Central Industrial Prison, a privately run maximum security prison in the middle of the Australian desert. An outbreak of violence within the prison has resulted in a total lockdown. A committee is appointed by the prison's governors to investigate the cause of the outbreak, but their findings are in stark contrast to the facts behind the riot. As the viewers see, both the prisoners and the guards are slowly and deliberately brutalised, manipulated and provoked into the forthcoming eruption of violence, to justify the construction of a new and more "secure" facility.
