Contrary. Passionate. Outspoken. Over 45 years Midnight Oil helped shape modern Australia.
This is their trailblazing story for the first time on film.
Midnight Oil: The Hardest Line is the definitive story of the seminal Australian rock group tracing their origins from the politically charged atmosphere of the 1970s to their rise as global icons.

Auch gesehen. Unfassbar gut. Supertight erzählt, Humor und Shock Value wechseln sich ab. Natürlich eine sagenhafte Archivschlacht, was mich persönlich kreativ gesehen nicht reizt, in diesem Fall aber zu jedem Zeitpunkt Sinn ergibt. Wrestling ist der Teil der amerikanischen Popkultur, von dem ich am wenigsten weiß, und so ist mir hier regelmäßig die Kinnlade runtergeklappt. Auch unglaublich, was den Kids hier für ein Frauenbild transportiert wurde. Top notch Doku-Serie vom Allerfeinsten, gesegnet mit Charisma-Bomben in den Interviews (bis auf The Rock ).

On Wednesday, five men who had worked as “ring boys” for World Wrestling Entertainment as young teenagers in the 1980s filed a lawsuit alleging that they were groomed and sexually abused by ring crew boss and ring announcer Mel Phillips on the company’s watch. The suit, filed by five John Does, names WWE, parent company TKO Group Holdings, and WWE co-founders/former executives Vince and Linda McMahon as defendants. (Phillips died in 2012.) The suit paints a picture of Phillips as someone to whom WWE gave unfettered access to kids and the means to abuse them, such as private locker rooms. The plaintiffs’ allegations are buoyed by evidence already in the public record pointing to ongoing knowledge of the alleged abuse by those at the top of WWE, particularly the McMahons. While there are two previously known lawsuits by former ring boys alleging sexual assault against Phillips, this filing marks the first time that the McMahons have been named personally as defendants. It also directly ties Linda, the co-chair of Donald Trump’s 2024 transition team, to the alleged cover-up of child sexual abuse at a time when far-right influencers are trying to gin up fabricated pedophilia allegations against Trump rival and Democratic Party running mate Tim Walz.
