Set in the Indonesian rainforest, BLIND EYE is a fast-paced political environmental thriller exploring moral predicaments and personal choices. Doctor Ben Fletcher, a cynical but respected British forestry economist, is contracted by the UK government to assess a project in Indonesia: sustainably cut timber made into furniture for Trevor Arnott's retail outlets in the UK. This will provide a perfect 'green' showcase for the Trade Summit London will be hosting. At stake for the government are diplomatic relationships and lucrative trade deals. Arriving in the remote rainforest village, Ben finds he has unexpected company. Indonesian anthropologist, Yulia, has inveigled her way onto his team to beef up the emphasis on indigenous peoples' welfare. And keeping a close watch on what Ben is up to is Linda, an aging radical American activist and founder of Direct Action for the Earth, who is accompanied by celebrity rock star, Rob. Following brutal murders, which local police half-heartedly follow up, Ben reluctantly takes action putting his reputation and life on the line and endangering others. BLIND EYE sets the plight to save the rainforest in a broad context showing how interdependent we are as a global community.
