hot on location in the Maze and Crumlin Road prisons in Northern Ireland, John J. Michalczyk’s video documentary details the ways in which internment helped shape the political consciousness of prisoners on both sides of the divide since the outbreak of the "troubles" in the late 1960s. Interviews with former prisoners tell the story of how paramilitaries forced into confinement came to understand the limitations of violence and the necessity of peaceful dialogue across the divide.
