A prison-camp convict learns that his younger brother will soon be joining him behind bars.
Sinekatalog’s take
A convict in a prison camp learns his younger brother is headed to the same place, and the film turns that dread into a hard-hitting protest. Its gritty tone drives home how brutal the system could be. Of interest to fans of tough, socially conscious early crime dramas.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
