God's Triangle

God’s Triangle is a detective story – a true detective story. It began not as a book, but as a small addition to the author's family history file. The more journalist Ian D. Richardson learned about what happened to his missionary Great Aunt Florence “Florrie” Cox, the more determined he became to determine the truth. An official at the Australian film development agency, Film Victoria, became convinced that it would make an excellent film. But there were lots of gaps in the story. The film was put on hold for several years while Richardson battled to peel back the layers of cover-up by the Australian Baptist Church, the press and the Victorian Supreme Court. The story of Florrie Cox is compelling and revealing. It says much about society’s often-twisted attitude to sex and other social issues in the early 1900s. Learning what happened to Florrie Cox – and why – is a fascinating journey. A feature film based on the story of God's Triangle is in development in Australia.
