We cover prison, trauma, domestic abuse, addiction, mental health, life after prison, women's experiences within the criminal justice system, and the role film can play in challenging harmful narratives and creating meaningful change.

This episode is thoughtful, powerful and deeply moving, offering a rare insight into the realities faced by women caught up in the criminal justice system and the importance of listening to lived experience.
