SYNOPSIS:  This is a startling and powerful film set entirely within the confines of a modern maximum security prison.  It goes beyond the tradition prison film themes of good and evil to draw a frightening allegorical portrait of the nature and organisation of our society.  On release this film caused heated debate worldwide.  The most disturbing aspect is that it's all true.  This is the first feature by Australian Diretor John Hillcoat who went on to direct The Proposition and The Road.  

These DVD copies are the last original copies.  There will be no more made.  The rest are all pirates.  The DVD, authored by Haydn Keenan from Smart St. Films, brings together the most comprehensive collection of DVD extras ever assembled for an Australian film.  Once these copies are sold that's it.  The Producer has indicated there will be no more made.
