When Fiji Red Cross Director-General John Scott and his partner, Greg Scrivener, were brutally murdered in 2001, their killer was found innocent by reason of insanity - but not before the deceased pair were falsely described by investigators and the media as being drug-using pedophiles.

And now the story is the subject of a documentary titled _An Island Calling_, directed by New Zealand filmmaker Annie Goldson, who's also been awarded a grant from the Sundance Institute to continue the project.

No word on a release date, but the sure-to-be-thoughtful approach to unpleasant subject matter is tailor-made for the film-festival circuit, with a final home on enlightened cable TV.

Keep watch.
