When the curtain rises on the beauty they’ve all built, what we witness is a work of art that never papers over the injustices just as we see the men who are fighting for their humanity in a world that doesn’t value it.

This isn’t simply a movie about one man experiencing the power of the arts, but about how such a program acts as a consistent source of sanctuary for everybody involved.

Kwedar’s deft direction works in tandem with fine-tuned drama to craft naturalistic mosaics, drawn from a patchwork of real prison experiences. This film will break your heart and rebuild it stronger than before.

Screening at Chichester Cinema and Windmill Cinema, Littlehampton.
