PETALING JAYA: R.AGE's epic six-part investigative series into drug mule syndicates in Malaysia has culminated in a web documentary released today.

The documentary follows a "drug-busting priest", Father John Wotherspoon, who has made it his life's mission to stop the drug mule syndicates.

Through his work as a prison chaplain in Hong Kong, he gathers information from imprisoned drug mules and follows the trail of evidence all the way back to the syndicate leaders in their home countries.

“I think it’s absolutely evil what these drug barons are doing. They recruit these innocent, impressionable young people who are desperate for money, and make them do their dirty work,” said

And now, Wotherspoon has set his sights on Malaysia. An alarming number of Malaysian mules have been arrested in Hong Kong, and Wotherspoon believes many are innocent, having been tricked or coerced by the syndicates to carry the drugs.

The documentary also follows the story of the mules' families, many of whom are left devastated and desperate to find evidence that could prove their innocence.

It's a race against time, as the mules could face as much as 20-30 years in prison if they cannot prove they were innocent.
