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. – you can watch the trailer online. HM Prison Holloway closed its doors in 2016, and was the largest women’s prison in western Europe.

Directed by BAFTA Breakthrough Daisy-May Hudson (Lollipop, Half Way) and EMMY nominated Sophie Compton (Another Body), Holloway is a deeply moving and transformational documentary feature was made via a unique process of a trauma-informed co-creation with six contributors, a group of 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.
