Holloway + Q&A
Audio described, Descriptive SubtitlesAbout Holloway + Q&A
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 Daisy-May Hudson and 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.
The screening will be followed by a live onstage Q&A with co-director Daisy-May Hudson and Joy Doal from Anawim Women’s Centre, moderated by Paula Harriott from the Prison Reform Trust.
The Q&A will include live captioning and BSL interpretation provided by Jacqueline Lewis.
