British filmmaker Brian Hill and poet Brian Armitage (DRINKING FOR ENGLAND) reunite to present another of their distinctive musical documentaries, this time telling the stories of a handful of women prisoners doing time for everything from arson to murder. In spoken interviews and in heartfelt songs reflecting a variety of musical genres, the women testify to abuse, addiction and their experiences behind bars. "Joyous... achieves an artistic and emotional clarity that all the talking-head interviews in the world could never produce" - Variety.
