Holloway
04 August 2025
Directed by Emmy-nominated Sophie Compton (Another Body) and BAFTA Breakthrough Daisy-May Hudson (Half Way, Lollipop), HOLLOWAY is a profound, emotionally charged and visually striking film set entirely inside the now-demolished Holloway Prison in London - once the largest women’s prison in Europe.
Six women - Mandy Ogunmokun, Lady Unchained, Aliyah Ali, Gerrah, Tamar Mujanay, and Sarah Cassidy - return to the abandoned prison to take part in a women’s circle. Sharing some of the most intimate experiences of their lives, they unravel what led each of them to prison, building an eye-opening portrait of failing systems, trauma, and the extraordinary capacity to heal through sisterhood.
The film was made through a trauma-informed process of co-creation with our six contributors across 5 years.
