This 90-minute feature documentary accompanies two serving prisoners on their journeys through a unique training programme – each with a genuine chance of employment on their release.
These journeys are punctuated by encounters with four former prisoners, now Timpson and Max Spielmann employees, who have embraced the world of work and are now living normally outside the walls.
How do you turn your life around when you’ve been written off by society? This is the challenge faced by all prisoners – men and women, career criminals as well as first-timers – who find themselves marginalized and stigmatized on leaving jail.
Providing a unique glimpse of lives regained, this film documents the importance of a second chance through employment and tells the heart-breaking and uplifting stories of prisoners trying to transform their lives.
This is a film about hope.
