The Pettingill Family - The True Animal Kingdom...

The phenomenal Australian crime film \\u201cAnimal Kingdom\\u201d is one of our favourites but did you know it\\u2019s based on a true story? Ruled by murderous matriarch Kath, the notorious Pettingill family dominated the Melbourne Underworld in the 1970\\u2019s and 80\\u2019s. They were drug dealers, armed robbers, rapists and murderers. Even police officers were not safe from their reign of terror. This is a tale of extreme drug-use, rampant violent crime and police corruption. But the most shocking thing in this case is that the truth is not only stranger than fiction, it\\u2019s also much worse.
