Documentary Film Screening: LIFE INSIDE OUT
Thurs April 26th, 7pm
Rhizome Café, 317 E Broadway (at Kingsway), Vancouver
Free. Film followed by tunes from DJ Su Comandante

LIFE INSIDE OUT [Dir. Sarah Zammit (2005) 72 minutes]
This vérité-style documentary takes us inside the walls of Grand Valley,
one of five federal prisons for women in Canada. Here, prisoners live in
small houses, in an environment that is supposed to be more
female-friendly than the notorious Kingston Prison for Women, now
shuttered. The first documentary to go behind the walls of this new breed
of prison, Life Inside Out features three unforgettable women over age 50,
doing time in a system that can seem designed to frustrate and baffle.
It’s a world where arbitrary decisions, bureaucratic ineptitude and a
Kafkaesque parallel justice system control every last detail of prisoners’
lives.
