"Brother Number One" is a New Zealand documentary on the torture and murder of New Zealand yachtie Kerry Hamill by the Khmer Rouge in 1978. It follows the journey of Kerry's younger brother, Rob Hamill, an Olympic and Trans-Atlantic champion rower, who will travel to Cambodia to retrace the steps taken by his brother and John Dewhirst, speaking to eyewitnesses, perpetrators and survivors.

The film is being directed by award-winning filmmaker Annie Goldson (Punitive Damage, Georgie Girl, An Island Calling), shot by Academy-award winning DOP Peter Gilbert (Hoop Dreams, At the Death House Door) and produced by Pan Pacific Films.

The team is currently in Cambodia filming the trial of Comrade Duch, the Khmer Rouge commander of Tuol Sleng prison.
