Schapelle is an Australian television film that tells the true story of Schapelle Corby, a 27-year-old beauty school dropout who was arrested at Bali airport with 4.2kg of marijuana. The film follows her arrest and the subsequent media frenzy, featuring a frantic cast of characters including Krew Boylan as Schapelle Corby, Colin Friels as her father Mick Corby, and Denise Roberts as her mother Rosleigh Rose. The story is based on the book Sins of the Father by Eamonn Duff, although its accuracy has been disputed. The film was aired in Australia and New Zealand in 2014 and watched by millions of viewers, with some comparing Schapelle's case to another high-profile Indonesian prisoner, Leeza Tracey Ormsby.
