Against a backdrop of glaring lights, rattling keys, and echoing hallways, female offenders reveal how their lives went wrong. With a borrowed video camera, the women give us an insider's view of life behind bars. Directed by Marie Cadieux, this classic film provides insight on the fundamental notions of right and wrong, free will, social responsibility, and ultimately, how the Canadian penal system responds effectively to women in crisis.
