Bangkok Hilton
On ABC TV
A harrowing three-episode miniseries following a young woman's descent from searching for her father into a death-row nightmare in a Thai prison, built on betrayal and the weight of irreversible consequences.
This classic Australian mini series was originally broadcast in 1989 as three 90 minute episodes and tells the story of a young woman who goes in search of the father she has never known. Her search takes her from Australia to England and then on to Bangkok. There she meets up with a charming young man, Arkie Regan, who plants drugs in her luggage and leaves her to her fate when the authorities find them during a routine search at the airport. Following her imprisonment in the notorious Bangkok Hilton prison she awaits the decision of the authorities on whether she should face the death penalty.
