Introduction
Sophie Compton and Daisy-May Hudson follow the women as they return to Holloway Prison before it is demolished. Memories resurface as they explore the now-empty space, confronting their past and reflecting on how the building shaped their lives. The film gives each woman a platform to reclaim their stories and highlights the power of sharing and supporting one another as a form of healing.
