The 4 part series BETTER MAN is based on the true story of a 25-year-old Vietnamese-Australian man who was arrested in Singapore convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced with the death penalty in 2005. The series follows the story of a young man who had a tough but loving upbringing with his twin brother and devoted mother. The story culminates in an extraordinary three-year legal battle to save the life of Nguyen, led by Julian McMahon, a Melbourne lawyer and, a Melbourne barrister.
Exactly how much risk would you take to save your brother? For Van Nguyen the answer was whatever it takes . . . and the devastating consequence of his attempt to traffic heroin from Cambodia to Australia via a change of planes in Singapore was that the 396 grams of drugs that he was discovered carrying was enough to incur the death penalty - 26 times over.
