From Greymouth to São Paulo's slums, Roy Arbon's adventure ends in kidnap and imprisonment on foreign soil, leaving him facing life behind bars. Spurred on by the chance of making a quick buck, the West Coast beekeeper set out on a rags-to-riches ride that saw him lured around the world in a wild true crime tale. Arbon's story is told in a new documentary, The Scam, which is released today as part of the 2021 Loading Docs initiative. Director Ollie Dawe joins the show to look at this perplexing story. *The Scam will launch as part of the 2021 Loading Docs collection and will be available to stream via www.loadingdocs.net
