Schapelle: The Telemovie presented on DVD.

Schapelle Corby, a 27 year old beauty school dropout from the Gold Coast, was arrested at Bali airport with 4.2kg of marijuana in a boogie board bag in October 2004. At first, Schapelle's arrest was barely noticed by the Australian media, but once photographs were published it sparked a media frenzy and attracted a cast of colourful characters who came to her aid including her sister Mercedes (Jacinta Stapleton), mother Ros (Denise Roberts), father Mick (Colin Friels), and her white knights mobile phone mogul Mad Ron Bakir (Les Chantery) and Gold Coast lawyer Robin Tampoe (Vince Colosimo). Although Schapelle avoided the death penalty, she was sentenced to 20 years in Bali's notorious Kerobokan Prison where she became Australia s first multi-media celebrity of the internet era, and a household name across the nation.
