Police Crop: The Winchester Conspiracy (1990)
Director: Ken Cameron
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Fact-based Australian police thriller detailing the controversial Operation Seville, in which the Federal and NSW forces collaborated with organised crime to cultivate and sell marijuana: the prize was a number of convictions, the price an influx of soft drugs on the streets of Melbourne and Sydney. Compelling material, efficiently handled. Raises tough questions about the motivation behind such doubtful methods of investigation.Author: TJ
