- Synopsis
- Antiterrorist forces swoop in to the UNSW campus to arrest Kamer - a popular, 25-year-old Muslim student from Sri Lanka - for allegedly planning terrorist attacks on iconic Australian landmarks and politicians. Politicians went overboard along with the media on how they have ‘won’ a fight against terror. Amidst the media hype and bravado, they walked right into a trap. The overseas student, the police and the media were all set up. A fellow Muslim colleague arranged this elaborate set up, preying on Muslim stereotypes. His motivation? Not religion, but rather jealousy and unreciprocated love. While this may sound like a Hollywood film, this is a real story and the tale at the centre of our documentary.
  
  FRAMED explores how media and political hype hinder the path of justice by harming rather than helping the process. How it leads to pressures on the authorities to ‘go with the flow’, how, if you are part of the investigative team, it is hard to ‘speak out’. What safeguards exist to ensure that an innocent person is not found guilty?
