P4W: Prison for Women

A key work by filmmaking team Janis Cole and Holly Dale, P4W: Prison for Women is the only film ever made inside Kingston's notorious maximum-security prison before it was closed in 2000. P4W is a shattering look at love and isolation in the most desperate of places. The filmmakers' approach results in a gripping and dignified story, both personal and political.

"In a powerfully ambiguous piece of filmmaking, they invite their audience to think about the cycle of crime, the conditions that lead to it, and a system that hardly seems part of the solution." - Matthew Hays
