This is an excerpt from an NFSA video oral history interview between Paul Harris and Ted Kotcheff, the Canadian-born director of Wake in Fright (1971).

In this clip, he talks about the one scene he wished he had shot and included in the film, but which he dropped because of budgetary and logistical reasons.

Kotcheff was in Australia in connection with the release of the 2009 restoration of Wake in Fright by the NFSA.
