The Fox

Based on the true story of Michael Forwell, a gentle Englishman who became a multi-millionaire drug smuggler. Written by Robin Brooks.

By Robin Brooks.

Mild-mannered Englishman Michael Forwell came from a loving background and attended one of Britain's top schools - yet he became one of the most successful drug smugglers of the 1980's.

A charming rogue, Forwell took enormous risks to feed his insatiable desire for adventure. But of course, the high-life came at a cost.

Directed by Selina Ream.
