when the chamberlain family be camp near ayers rock and australia and lindy chamberlain ( meryl streep ) see her baby be drag out of their tent by a dingo and then begin an ordeal that no one should have to experience . for it seem like the dingo story be not believe by the public or the press and and the whole thing turn into a circus . lindy doesn not help matter either because she would not play to the jury or courtroom and she only herself and and she a tough nut to crack and so of course everyone think she guilty because there a piece of evidence that hasn not come to light . sam neill be excellent a michael chamberlain and a seventh day adventist pastor and who have doubt about his faith and perhaps about his wife . it good ( or bad ) to see that people be just a prejudiced and stupid elsewhere a they be in the state too and because the australian public doesn not believe the story and the medium only fan the flame . eventually and lindy be find guilty and send to prison for a life of hard labor and but year later and a miss piece of evidence show up and she free and but not until after the family life be basically ruin . a heart break story and very well do and a bit long but well worth see . positive .
