How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling true-crime odyssey of wrongful imprisonment and desperate escape attempts that balances brutal hardship with the tenderness of an unlikely bond between two men. The film is sentimental about friendship but unflinching about the horrors that forge it.
