About this listen
What does it mean to be guilty in a world where guilt is assigned like a lottery ticket?
When an ordinary man with a knack for bad luck, finds himself imprisoned in New Zealand on charges of human smuggling, he discovers that truth and justice are little more than stage props in a political farce. His fellow inmates include tattooed Māori warriors, suspicious Israelis, philosophical Muslims, and a Georgian drug lord with tips on beating the system. Somewhere between the chessboard in the prison yard and the sterile absurdity of the courtroom, Senya realizes he is not just fighting for freedom, but stumbling through a theater of cruelty where the script has already been written.
This is a story about scapegoats and headlines, about courts that resemble circuses, and about nations that prefer myths to reality. It is a darkly comic exploration of exile, identity, and the human capacity to survive even when the world insists on calling you guilty.
Blending satire, history, and Kafkaesque absurdity, Senya in Wonderland (as it might have been titled by Lewis Carroll’s more cynical twin) is a reminder that anyone, anywhere, can become a convenient villain in someone else’s political drama.
