Alone In Four Walls
Director - Alexandra Westmeier
Appeared at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival
Objective and riveting, Alexandra Westmeier's acclaimed documentary opens
a window to a tragic segment of Russian society invisible to outsiders. At
an unnamed rural reform school, the residents --ranging in age from 10 to
14 --tell their stories. Their offenses range from theft (often for food)
to rape and multiple murder, yet their backgrounds testify to upbringings
in unstructured homes ravaged by alcoholism, frequent beatings and absent
parents. Not surprisingly, most have no desire to leave their present
surroundings.
(2007) Color (86 mins)
THURSDAY MAY 14 1PM
On the Sundance Channel; Channel 101 on Time-Warner Cable in NYC
