Synopsis

On 9th of November 1983 two Australians, Kevin Barlow and Geoff Chambers were arrested at Penang Airport in Malaysia carrying 179 grams of heroin, a crime which in Malaysia carries a mandatory sentence of death.

Dadah Is Death (A Long Way From Home) is the true story of Barbara Barlow's desperate attempt to save her son from the hangman's rope - a courageous effort that involved impassioned pleas to President Reagan, The British Prime Minister, and even the Pope.

By July 1986 this international struggle had seemed to reach a hopeless conclusion and all that was left was a mother's love for her son.

Emily Taylor

5/10

The soundtrack's composition and arrangement are masterfully done, adding depth and complexity to the storytelling.

Kimberly Robinson

4/10

The use of upbeat and lighthearted melodies in certain scenes of the film clashes with the somber and serious subject matter, creating a jarring and inappropriate musical backdrop. This inconsistency in tone detracts from the overall impact of the story and undermines the emotional weight of the narrative.

David Moore

5/10

The use of strings and piano in the soundtrack creates a poignant and haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the film has ended.

8/10

The hauntingly beautiful soundtrack perfectly captured the emotional depth of the story. Each note seemed to echo the pain, hope, and resilience of the characters, enhancing the overall impact of the film. The music added an extra layer of depth to the already powerful narrative, making it a truly unforgettable cinematic experience.
