National Premiere

1 show for this event

How does a person deprived of freedom live? The documentary shows prison life by following the routines of seven female inmates at Barcelona’s Can Brians 1 Penitentiary. The stories, thoughts, and tortuous personal experiences of these women are told in the first person, along with the stories of the personal relationships that are entwined in everyday prison life. By listening directly to the voices of the female protagonists, the film invites us to reflect on the judicial and penal system, and ask ourselves to what extent the dignity and needs of incarcerated women are respected, opening up an important reflection that concerns political, social and ethical spheres.

In case of bad weather, the event will be hosted at the DAMSLab Auditorium in Piazzetta Pier Paolo Pasolini 5/b. Follow the updates on Gender Bender’s social networks.
