Who is Kevin?
Kevin Hiebert is an ex-Winnipegger who has been trapped in and out of a notorious Greek Prison for more than a decade. Why?
Because he was tried in a court that was neither fair or transparent. And left to rot behind bars. Forgotten by Greece. Ignored by Canada.
But all that could change. Because now he has a shot at another day in court. Another shot at freedom. And this time, with a solid legal team to help him fight his battle. But that costs money. And that's where you come in. Stay tuned for details on an upcoming fundraising open mike night. Great bands. Great friends. And a great cause. Help us help Kevin.

A HEAVY PRICE
a one hour documentary


Logline:

The only Canadian prisoner abroad who would've been a free man if not for opting into Canada's Transfer Treaty program. How much life does one man have to loose before we notice.

Synopsis:

Kevin Hiebert was twenty-five years old when he was arrested in Athens airport in 1999. The charge was trafficking after authorities found two kilos of cocaine concealed in the soles of his shoes. Six other mules from Winnipeg were apprehended in Amsterdam earlier that day. The Greek police knew Kevin was coming. This was a first time offence, usually carrying a three to five year penalty, but Kevin Hiebert was given a life sentence, with no chance of release for sixteen years, minutes after his parents were approached for an undisclosed sum to have him home in six months. Money they did not have. He has served eleven years in Malandrino prison. His life sentence is not determined, no one knows how much time he must stay. How he is too survive.

This documentary challenges the lack of initiative and response of the Canadian Government to bring Kevin home under auspices of the International Transfer of Offenders Act. With the six others all home within a year of their arrests, why is Kevin still locked up in a prison deep within the mountains of Greece, well past our own maximum penalty for his crime?
