Movies and TvShows featuring "prison-work-camp" theme.

Set during World War II, Kapo tells the story of a man who is heartbroken and forced to work in a prison camp. There, he forms an unlikely bond with a 16-year-old girl who helps him find solace in the midst of the horrors of a concentration camp. As they face the brutality of their captors, they must navigate the complexities of survival, escape, and the loss of their humanity.

Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran, capital punishment is carried out according to Islamic law, which gives the family of the victim ownership of the offender's life. Day Break - based on a compilation of true stories and shot inside Tehran's century-old prison - revolves around the imminent execution of Mansour, a man found guilty of murder. When the family of the victim repeatedly fails to show up on the appointed day, Mansour's execution is postponed again and again. Stuck inside the purgatory of his own mind, he waits as time passes on without him, caught between life and death, retribution and forgiveness.

Women's Prison recounts the life of the prisoners and the problems their families encounter in their struggle to survive. Here again filmmaker Kamran Shirdel employs the cinema verité style. The interviews with the prisoners, social workers and teachers serve as commentaries for "constructed" documentary images.
