How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A harrowing documentary-realism account of life inside one of the world's most overcrowded prisons, building toward a tragedy rooted in state violence and institutional indifference. The film bears witness to both human resilience and the machinery of systemic oppression.
