Details
Six women return to the now abandoned Holloway Prison to take part in a women’s circle. Sharing some of the most intimate experiences of their lives, they each unravel what led them to prison, building an eye-opening portrait of failing systems and trauma, while discovering their extraordinary capacity to heal through sisterhood.
Directed by BAFTA Breakthrough Brit Daisy-May Hudson and EMMY nominated Sophie Compton, this deeply moving and transformational documentary feature was made via a unique process of a trauma-informed co-creation with six contributors, a group of incredibly talented, high profile women who are running charities and using their lived-experience to call for change. They are Aliyah Ali, Mandy Ogunmokun, Sarah Cassidy, Lady Unchained, Gerrah, and Tamar Mujanay.
Holloway is a profound, meditative, eye-opening and ultimately inspiring exploration of trauma and the immense human capacity for recovery.
Followed by a filmmaker Q&A.
Content warning: Please note that the film includes discussions of imprisonment, child abuse, sexual violence, addiction, physical violence, as well as strong language, sounds recorded inside an active prison and footage taken inside an empty prison building.
