Fresh from a Melbourne jail, Dan is reunited with the love of his life, Leanne. A fierce, passionate and tender couple who have learnt to appreciate the simplest pleasures in life, Dan and Leanne celebrate, and when surrounded by friends he announces he has resolved to go straight. Believing he can change with Leanne by his side, Dan finds a job and slowly builds a new life. Unforeseen circumstances intervene & Dan, having lived for years on the verge of excess and violence, is inexorably lured back to crime to survive. When a mysterious old criminal friend of Leanne's appears with a proposition for Dan that could finally provide for the woman he loves, Dan explodes in jealousy, frustration and uncontrollable rage.
Then Leanne is ripped away from him. How could this happen? Who was responsible? Alone now and haunted by damning memories, Dan is sucked helter skelter into a savage, hallucinatory vortex of primal revenge to take back what is his.
A searingly intimate story of love, loss, fate and chaos, HAIL is a visionary maelstrom of unbelievable and mesmeric power unlike anything you have seen before.

Bonus:
While documenting a production staged by a theatre company comprised of recently released offenders (Plan B), Amiel Courtin-Wilson was struck by the presence and natural story telling ability of Daniel P Jones whom he met on the day he was released from prison.
Over a 5 year period a unique artistic collaboration evolved which found initial expression in the short film CICADA (selected to be screened in the prestigious directors fortnight program at Cannes Film Festival in 2009) which went on to win and be nominated for several major awards in Australia.

Future Map of The United States

Hmmm!

A six-year study of Britain's drug laws by leading scientists, police officers, academics and experts has concluded it is time to introduce decriminalisation and conclude the move will not lead to a significant increase in use of controlled drugs.
They also say that imposing minimal or no sanctions on those growing cannabis for personal use could go some way to undermining the burgeoning illicit cannabis factories controlled by organised crime.
They refuse to support full legalisation of ALL drugs however saying that allowing the legal sale of drugs such as heroin or cocaine could cause more damage than the existing drugs trade.
