Dadah bedeutet Tod (1988)
Am 9. November 1983 wurden zwei Australier, Kevin Barlow und Geoff Chambers, mit 179 Gramm Heroin auf dem Flughafen Penang in Malaysia festgenommen. Ein Verbrechen, das in Malaysia zum Tode verurteilt wird. Dadah Is Death (A Long Way From Home) ist die wahre Geschichte von Barbara Barlows verzweifeltem Versuch, ihren Sohn aus dem Hangmans-Seil zu retten - ein mutiger Versuch, der leidenschaftliche Bitten beinhaltete, Präsident Reagan, der britische Premierminister und sogar der Papst. Im Juli 1986 schien dieser internationale Kampf ein hoffnungsloses Ende zu finden, und es blieb nur die Liebe einer Mutter zu ihrem Sohn.
