THE GREY AREA: FEMINISM BEHIND BARS <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c841.shtml>

THE GREY AREA is an intimate look at women’s issues in the criminal justice system and the unique experience of studying feminism behind bars. 

Through a series of captivating class discussions, headed by students from Grinnell College, a small group of female inmates at a maximum women’s security prison in Mitchellville, Iowa, share their diverse experiences with motherhood, drug addiction, sexual abuse, murder, and life in prison. The women, along with their teachers, explore the "grey area" that is often invisible within the prison walls and delve into issues of race, class, sexuality and gender.

THE GREY AREA is a great resource for those interested in issues related to women and the criminal justice system, as well as for women's studies students to understand the impact of feminism and feminist analysis.
