Synopsis
In 2008, two comedians had a wild idea - so wild, it landed them in prison. Their mission? To bring a talent contest to the incarcerated, giving them a stage and a mic to express themselves. Filmed over 14 years, to show where the participants are now, attitudes, perceptions, and even the language around incarceration has evolved. This is the story of an improbable journey - and the unexpected impact of comedy, creativity, and second chances behind bars. Imagine "Borat" meets "America's Got Talent” behind bars, giving people a second chance at life.

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
