Kill the Day
Directed by Lynne Ramsay
Produced by Holy Cow Films, Lazennec Tout Court
A bleak portrait of addiction and institutional cruelty that focuses on one man's isolation and struggle for redemption within a system designed to break him.
A desperate drug addict breaks into a locker and steals a bag for his next fix, a small crime that lands him behind bars. In prison, he’s a loner, baited by guards who want to see him snap and lose his shot at parole.
