Bali, Indonesia. Schappelle Corby, a 27-year old Australian woman, languishes in Kerobokan Prison for a crime she insists she didn`t commit. Corby had flown to Bali in October 2004 for a two-week holiday on the beach. Amongst her luggage was an unlocked boogie-board bag. When she arrived in Bali and was asked by customs officials to open the tote, they discovered a ten-pound bag of cannabis flattened next to the board.

Ganja Queen explores the myriad of twists and turns in this sensational case. As the trial counts down to the final verdict, the documentary goes behind the scenes, filming intimate interviews with Schappelle Corby from behind the walls of Kerobokan Prison, as well as following her controversial family and the outspoken defense team.

Reviews:

"Hosking maintains a sense of critical immediacy...You never know what will happen next, but there`s always a lingering doubt of Corby`s innocence. Is she really the world`s best actress, and as the partisan Balinese press dubs her, the GANJA QUEEN?"
