Anwar on Trial

The Anwar Ibrahim trials in the early 1990's left the landscape of Malaysia's judiciary forever changed. Convicted to a six-year prison sentence on charges that many believe to have been trumped up, Anwar, a former Deputy Prime Minister who was sacked by the then Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, has become a symbol of a new generation of Malaysians determined to seek truth and justice. The story is captured through the lens of a lawyer who was present throughout the proceedings.
