Screening

Docu: "Prison: a Short  Introduction" (2019, 20 min) by PJE Film.

In 2013, prisoners at Tanjung Gusta Prison in Medan rebelled. This is Indonesia's worst over-capacity prison. Added with bad treatment and unbearable prison facilities, 212 prisoners managed to escape and 4 people died in the riots. But this is not the only prison riot that has occurred. The short documentary "Prison: a Short Introduction" (2019) by PJE Film reconstructs the in chronology order
the riot that took place. This film is the only one capable of exposing prisons in Indonesia close to the actual reality on the ground.
