As Melbourne struggles with increased youth crime, one particular group have fallen under the spotlight. The so-called 'Apex' captured the attention of the press, the police, and the imagination of the public. But who are they?

Working closely with the South Sudanese community, this documentary goes to the heart of what it takes to make a multicultural society and gives pause to those who have forged a view of migrant communities based on stereotypes by separating myth from reality.
