Hollys Hell P2

Hollys Hell P2

Holly Deane-Johns grew up in a comfortable suburb of Perth, Western Australia. But beneath the surface of a privileged childhood lay a darkness that would shape the entire course of her life. When her mother became addicted to heroin, the drug found its way into their home — and into Holly's life — before she was old enough to fully understand what it would cost her. By her mid-twenties, Holly found herself in Bangkok facing a sentence that would take her breath away. Caught attempting to traffic heroin out of Thailand, she was sentenced to thirty one years in Lard Yao Women's Prison — one of the most notorious and brutal correctional facilities in the world. A place so far removed from anything she had ever known that she struggled to find the words to describe it. This is the story of how a girl from Perth ended up behind bars in a foreign country, what surviving seven years inside a Thai prison actually looks like, and how Holly Deane-Johns found a way not just to endure — but to come back.

The Night Mumbai Burned - Will Pike p3

On the evening of November 26, 2008, British freelance filmmaker Will Pike and his girlfriend checked into the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai for a one-night stopover on their way to Goa. It was meant to be a treat. A single night in one of the world's most famous hotels. By midnight, terrorists were moving through the corridors executing guests. Will and his girlfriend barricaded themselves in their room as the siege unfolded around them. They could hear the gunfire, they heard people being executed in the hallway outside their door. When smoke began filling the room they had no choice but to act. They broke the window, knotted together bedsheets and curtains, and tried to climb down the outside of the building, Will fell fifty feet. He broke his back, his pelvis, both wrists and his elbow. He was confined to a wheelchair. 167 people died that night at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. Will Pike survived and then came the part nobody tells you about, rebuilding a life, a body and a sense of self when the world that existed before November 26, 2008 is simply gone. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
