DESCRIPTION
Justice and human struggle are themes recurring in many major non fiction investigations, but seldom has New Zealand had to confront such a complex series of issues as what is now known as the Ahmed Zaoui case.

Since his arrival at Auckland International Airport on December 4 2002, Ahmed Zaoui's sheer presence has challenged New Zealand's immigration laws and the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service's ability to accurately and independently acquire information.

I Almost Forgot About The Moon examines Ahmed Zaoui's life, interviews his colleagues, his family, political and international commentators, and New Zealand politicians, and investigates why he is considered a danger by Algeria, why he has convictions in Europe, why New Zealand's SIS believed him to be a security risk, why New Zealand's immigration laws are unable to determine a timely outcome, and offers examples of legal reform that would ensure New Zealand remains a just and fair country where an individual's rights are considered equal to those of the state. Let the debate begin!
