We’re excited to share this special screening of Time and Time again: Women in Prison (1986) by Nina Ward with Women & The Law Collective, alongside Rehana Zaman‘s Everything Worthwhile is Done with Other People – a film made in collaboration with women affected by incarceration that examines the intersections of race, gender and class within the UK criminal justice system. The programme will be introduced by Rehana Zaman and Lizzie Graham, with a conversation with members of the EWIDWOP collective. For more info.

Time and Time again: Women in Prison (1986) focuses on the lives of women in prison through interviews with four ex-prisoners. It examines the realities of everyday life in prison – the violence, the racism, the forced medication. It touches on why women go back: the feelings of worthlessness, of losing confidence and institutionalisation. Finally Time and Time again shows the need for organisations like Women in Prison and the Black Female Prisoners Scheme which give help and support to women inside and aid the slow process of building a new life outside.
