The federal insider trading case that led to the resignation and eventual conviction of former Congressman Chris Collins has been covered extensively in Buffalo, New York and across the nation.

Australian journalist Stephanie March believed there was more to tell, specifically about the pharmaceutical company Innate Immunotherapeutics.

"What we wanted to find out was, what happened over here in Australia? What do we know about the company? What about the shareholders who lost their money who weren't able to sell out on this insider information like Chris Collins' son and associates were," she said.

March and her producer put together a roughly 40-minute documentary for the Australian Broadcast Corporation program Four Corners. They spoke with multiple sclerosis patients, who, like Collins, felt the medicine Innate made was working prior to a failed clinical trial that ultimately caused the stock to plummet.

"We know that he (Collins) was a real believer and meeting these patients you see why because they are adamant that this drug was working for them and just horrified and totally confused as to why the trial ultimately failed," March said.

The journalist also speaks with other stockholders who, unlike Collins’ son Cameron and Cameron's fiancé’s father, were not able to sell their stocks and lost money. They talk about an unfair playing field and lack of confidence in Australian regulators.

"We talked to people who lost tens of thousands of dollars and who really hoped that this would be a cure for MS. It wasn't just a get rich quick scheme," March said. "One of them in particular had a friend who had MS."

The Buffalo News Washington Bureau Chief Jerry Zremski and Western New York political operative Michael Caputo are featured extensively. March also traveled to Buffalo to find Collins and then to his home on Marco Island in Florida.

"I called him the day before on his cell phone and he hung up on me so I went and knocked on the door and tried to talk to him and I could see him through the window and he kind of dashed away and then we engaged him in some text messages for a while and he just said he didn't want to talk so we tried," she said.

The program aired in Australia this week and March didn't rule out the possibility of it airing in the United States at some point.
