Tara Hack's beautiful song tells the story of Schapelle Corby, an innocent suffering the daily cruelty of a life in the hell of an Indonesian prison cell. This landmark video presents a global demonstration   more...of support for her: winding its way around the world from New York (home of the Statue of Liberty) to Canberra (home of the Australian government).

Schapelle was subjected to the most horrific of show trials for importation of marijuana - a trial in which evidence and justice were simply diversions to be dismissed as quickly as possible. The court refused to test the drugs for country of origin (if they were Indonesian she could not have imported them), they refused to fingerprint or DNA the bags, and they then burned this evidence so it could never be used to free her! The judge, who had never acquitted anyone in over 500 drug cases, refused to even order the collection of CCTV from the airport. Schapelle Corby didn't have a chance: she didn't have a trial.

She was sentenced to a barbaric 20 years in the hell of a squalid and dangerous prison cell in 2005. Yes: 20 years - more than murderers, rapists and terrorists often receive. She is still there now: suffering.

Tara Hack recorded this stunning song at the end of October 2008, at Clould9 Recording in in New York. It is a remarkable track, from a hugely talented artist. But a special song required a special video, and hopefully it will help spread awareness of Schapelle's tragic situation to a wider audience.

Please remember that Schapelle's cries for justice are ignored, her tears are not seen, and her voice is not heard. YOU can become her voice, and YOU can make a difference. Please pass on her story, this song, and our Schapelle videos to friends, colleagues, to anyone who will listen. Please Don't Walk Away... Tara didn't. Can you?

Many Australians saw Schapelle Corby's human rights being trampled upon with their own eyes. They saw the nature of the show trial for themselves: the refusal to test the drugs for country of origin,   more...the refusal to fingerprint, the judge who had never acquitted anyone, and subsequently even the burning of the evidence so that it could never be used to free her.

They saw that her testimony and whole demeanor were clearly those of an innocent person, and in contrast they saw the shambolic pretence of judicial procedure in which evidence was simply an irritant and a deflection from the pre-ordained process. They then saw a vengeful and barbaric sentence of 20 YEARS awarded. 20 years in conditions barely imaginable.

This was visible and open to all. The cat was out of the bag.

But for the Australian Government, their strategic relationship with Indonesia trumps Schapelle Corby's human rights every time. This was potentially disastrous for them.

Enter the Australian media: ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), Seven Network, Nine Network, etc. Enter the press: Fairfax Media Limited (SMH - Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, etc), News Corporation (The Australian, The Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, etc), and so on. Enter headline chasing, circulation seeking, cheque book journalism. Enter towing the government line. Enter distortion and smear. Enter the hiding of the truth, which you SAW for yourself in 2004/5.


Meanwhile, Schapelle suffers. She lies clinically depressed in her tiny cell, with others, day after day, week after week, year after year. Along with the truth, she is being buried, not just by a corrupt and ruthless foreign regime, but by her own nation's media.

This film provides an overview of the insidious media process. It outlines the methodology used, and the approach adopted to influence YOUR perception: to make you forget the facts - the facts you saw with your own eyes.


Australia: open your eyes again. Recall what you actually saw, and recall what you know. See through the veneer which is being pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Differentiate the facts from the smear and innuendo which you have now been fed for years.

Someone's life does actually depend upon it.  less
