Juanita Nielsen Now

Zanny Begg

Australia

2022

On July 4th, 1975, Juanita Nielsen – style icon, journalist and activist – went to what she thought was a business meeting at The Carousel Club, Kings Cross and vanished, never to be seen again. Juanita was an unforgettable Sydney character with her large beehive hairdo, long false eyelashes and fashionable clothes. Glamorous, stylish and well-connected Juanita built a powerful alliance between construction workers and residents that stopped Sydney’s developers in their tracks. With millions of dollars at stake, Juanita’s disappearance remained unsolved. Filmmaker and artist Zanny Begg explores this mystery through the eyes of those living in Sydney today. Bringing together a cast of actors, performers, activists, stripers, sex workers and beekeepers, Juanita Nielsen NOW probes what it means to live in a city that killed one of its own.
