Hitting Home(2015)

Hitting Home is a documentary series following award-winning journalist Sarah Ferguson as she investigates domestic violence across Australia. Over six months, Ferguson gains rare access to courtrooms, women's refuges, prisons, and specialist police units to understand how abuse begins and escalates from psychological control to physical violence and murder. The series examines a national crisis that claimed nearly 70 women's lives in a single year, drawing on interviews with survivors, forensic experts, and those working within the system. Ferguson's immersive reporting explores the patterns and warning signs that often go unrecognized, offering insight into one of society's most urgent and hidden crises.
