THE REAL HIKERS

3 American (US) Hikers, Sarah, Shane & Josh, at a wedding in Syria in 2009. 5 days later they were in prison in Iran accused of spying.

Despite a worldwide campaign to prove their innocence, they remain in jail 10 months later.

In this emotive film a close friend, Emily, talks about her Palestinian wedding, which the 3 friends attended, and the shock of their imprisonment a few days later.

In previously unseen footage, we watch Sarah and Shane dancing happily together, blissfully unaware of the fate that awaits them.
Sarah was teaching and working as a volunteer with the Iraqi Student Project in Damascus, where she and Shane were living.
