Life Inside Out is a documentary that takes us inside the walls of Grand Valley Institution in Kitchener, Ontario, one of five federal prisons for women in Canada. Here, most residents live in small houses they share with ten or more roommates, in an environment that is supposed to be more female-friendly than the notorious Kingston Prison for Women, now shuttered. With remarkable access to these women and their daily lives, filmmaker Sarah Zammit delivers a film that doesn't idealize the women. At the same time, it refuses to accept the false logic that people who have committed crimes are not worthy of basic human dignity.
