Pack Strap Swallow (2005)
Excellent Doc on the lives of naive young woman
Just caught this doc on the sundance channel and loved it. The raw camera footage fit well with the subjects. The camera shots and subject movements/dialogue were poetic at times. I disagree with the last comment on how the USA and European relationships should have been exploited more. Their background or country origin doesn't matter, they are all stuck in the same place for EXACTLY the same crime. They were all naive girls who trusted the wrong guy, dealing with the situation and adjusting to the prison lives is the heart of the film. What made it unique besides the cinematography is the girls reflections on the past and their own identity, this is what made me like the film. I hope she does a sequel; I believe three of the main characters are already out of jail.
