How It Feels

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

A stark, unflinching look at prison life that treats its confined world as a mirror of society itself, one where violence, hierarchy, and moral compromise are the rules of survival. It's absorbing if bleak viewing that finds dark fascination in the machinery of incarceration.
