Description
This vérité-style documentary takes viewers inside the walls of Grand Valley Institution, one of five federal prisons for women in Canada. The first film to go behind the walls of this female prison, it features three unforgettable women over the age of 50. Kim is a quiet immigrant from Vietnam who waits with increasing desperation for a parole board hearing put off so often she begins to doubt it will happen. Pearl relies on her faith in God to stay positive through prison absurdities, like educational programs of dubious value and being charged with planning to try to escape. TA is a brash woman serving a 20-year sentence and challenging the system every step of the way. Filmmaker Sarah Zammit delivers a film that doesn't idealize the women, but rather refuses to accept the false logic that people who have committed crimes are not worthy of basic human dignity.
