We Are Monster is based on the shocking true story of Robert Stewart and his brutal murder of Zahid Mubarek on February 8, 2000 at Feltham Young Offenders Institute. Despite being a known racist and highly violent, Stewart was still placed in a cell with Mubarek, a young Asian man who was due to be released in 6 weeks and had only been convicted of petty theft. Over this six week period, Stewart, with his unbalanced mind and deep seated racist tendencies, was allowed by the prison's indifference to become the 'monster' he always wanted to be. Hours before Mubarek's release, Stewart murdered him in an unprovoked attack.
