MR. BIGS: LENNY MCPHERSON AND GEORGE FREEMAN

Cinemavixion Review

This documentary delves into the shadowy world of Sydney's organized crime, focusing on two formidable figures: Lenny McPherson and George Freeman. George Freeman, an illegal casino operator, navigated the turbulent waters of the Sydney drug trade in the 1970s and '80s, his name frequently surfacing in Royal Commissions. Despite numerous prison sentences for theft, he eluded conviction for his more significant alleged offenses. Leonard Arthur McPherson, a contemporary and associate, is portrayed as a dominant force, potentially controlling much of Sydney's criminal landscape for decades. The narrative explores their alleged connections to American crime figures and their intertwined influence with other notorious personalities. It offers a grim, yet fascinating, glimpse into a significant era of Australian criminal history, highlighting the elusive nature of power and justice within the underworld.
