Prison with Songbirds (2022)
The Netherlands/UK | 2022 | DCP | Colour | Documentary | 12' | English
Dir. Ewan Macbeth
Without warning, and with no charges or a trial, a man is suddenly thrown into jail – in appalling conditions. Filmmaker Ewan Macbeth took a letter from his father to Amnesty International as the starting point for Prison with Songbirds, and tells the story through gripping, nightmarish images.
