Storyline
Featured review
Good documentary
In 1991 Ernie Paerata was caught at Bangkok airport with 425 grams of heroin. He began a 30-year sentence in Klong Prem, one of the world's toughest prisons - also known as the Bangkok Hilton. The conditions of the prison are such that overcrowding, violence and corruption are commonplace. Jemarl was 17 when his father made the mistake that would change their lives forever. Emotion-driven true story raising moral questions of how right it is that a New Zealander should bear the full brunt of Thai law is an important discussion piece, but is also good for audiences. Slightly nervy delivery can be forgiven in light of the remarkable circumstances; this is one that won't disappoint anyone. Filmed mostly in New Zealand and Klong Prem, and briefly in Western Australia. R:7/10.
