In and out of psych wards for years, the mental strain on the family led us all to breaking point. My father slipped again, leading him down the dark path towards psychosis. Drug addiction is too powerful and too all-consuming. Maybe this time we would walk off into the proverbial sunset together.īut some damages can't be undone. Combine this best-selling story with my media skills to produce a movie to rebalance the family chi. I hoped it would be a way to glue us back together. My father wrote a book called The Damage Done, read by millions of people around the world. I couldn't just turn my back and walk he needed my help. I was apprehensive and skeptical as a result of his past behavior. I knew we could never take back the lost time. He looked terrible, perhaps not long for this world. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.There we were, father and son standing again face-to-face, only this time a role reversal. The Damage Done is one man's story of an unthinkable nightmare. It was the beginning of 12 years of hell. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Bang Kwang prison - better known as the Bangkok Hilton. In 1978 Warren Fellows was convicted of heroin trafficking between Thailand and Australia.
It is an essential read: hearbreaking, fascinating and impossible to put down. It is not Warren Fellows' plea for forgiveness nor his denial of guilt, but a story of endurance and survival and the abuse of human rights during the decade of a life wasted in leg irons.
It was the beginning of 12 years of hell in a place where sewer rats and cockroaches are the only nutritious food, where prison guards laugh as they deliver pulverising blows and where the worst punishment is the khun deo - solitary confinement, Thai style.
