Behind Bars:
The World’s Toughest Prisons
13 x 60’, 2016-2018, HD
They are 12 of the toughest prisons in the world. Confined, corrupt and overpopulated – they’re nowhere lands that reveal the worst aspects of humanity. ‘Behind Bars: The World’s Toughest Prisons’ returns for a second round of seven episodes. We visit a further five countries as we peer behind the walls to offer the viewer an intimate insight into an unfathomable world. The episodes tell of the complicated power structures behind bars that govern who survives and who is forced to live in constant fear. They tell of inmates who live in complete isolation and of prisoners who numb their hopelessness with drugs, violence against others, or even violence against themselves.

Of all the dark forms that murder can take, the slaying of an entire family by the father is one of the most tragic and the least understood. Experts call this phenomenon familicide - or family annihilation. Told for the first time through compelling stories by those with direct experience of familicide, this film delves deep into the male mind in an attempt to understand the psychology that drives men to destroy their wife, children - and very often themselves. In doing so, we expose and challenge long held beliefs and misconceptions that surround this tragic phenomenon.

In an intimate portrayal of injustice, this series reveals the true experience of being wrongfully convicted and the impact that lasts well beyond the prison bars. Each episode explores the harrowing story of a person who was convicted of a crime they didn’t commit and their fight to prove their innocence in a court of law. Through a first-hand account from the exoneree themselves and supporting interviews with those close to the case, the crime and trial are critically examined to find flaws and falsehoods in the original conviction that prove their innocence. But even exoneration can’t heal all wounds, the impact extends further than just lost years and affects every part of their lives; sometimes beyond repair.
