"ganja queen"

"ganja queen"
on hbo

dear god
i don't think i've been this affected
by a documentary
in as long as i can remember

and i watch a shit-ton of documentaries

witness the story of schapelle corby
a 27 year old australian woman traveling to bali
on holiday with her family

and the ten pound bag of marijuana
that's discovered in her suitcase
upon their arrival

in indonesia
the penalty for drug smuggling
is execution by firing squad

the hell that schapelle is put through
during the circus that surrounds her trial
as carried out in a third world country
is arguably a fate worse than death

"ganja queen" is as riveting and harrowing a tale
as could ever have occurred
in real time
on this planet

it will shake you to the core
it will challenge your beliefs about justice
it will leave you forever changed

i cannot fully put into words
how hauntingly powerful this story is

find it any way you can on hbo
or hbo on demand

this is simply a film
that is not to be missed
