The People Smuggler is a remarkable and inspiring true story of how one man survived Saddam Hussein’s Abu Ghraib and eventually became known as “The Oskar Schindler of Asia”.

This is a gripping page turner, a story of a man striving to retain his dignity and humanity while saving his family and others from an impossible position.

The author Robin de Crespigny is a Sydney film-maker, producer, director, writer and a former Directing Lecturer at the Australian Film, Television & Radio School.

Robin began work on a film script about the life of Ali Al Jenabi, an Iraqi refugee who became a people smuggler. After six months of wrestling with the epic breadth of his journey she realised a book would serve this story better.
