A gritty, tension-filled prison drama rooted in real institutional brutality, where desperation and systemic oppression drive men toward violent uprising.

Filmed in the Clare Valley, Gladstone and the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, this prison movie was inspired by the true life prison riot at Bathurst Jail in 1974 and its subsequent Royal Commission into New South Wales Prisons.
