Woodhill


'I DANCE IN THE HORROR OF GRIEF.'

Gut-punching choreography and unflinching beats shine a light on the hidden story of HMP Woodhill. Lyrically told in their own words, three families investigate what happened to their boys. What they discover is so haunting, it turns their world upside down. An explosive true story by multi-award-winning LUNG and The North Wall.
