Share
A fast-paced comedy set in a dystopian prison camp. Failed author Pete Miller is sent away not for speaking truth to power, but because the Great Leader thinks his writing is bad. He spends his final days in a cell with two rival authors trying to form a resistance, but they become more interested in petty squabbling and competitive career rivalries. Written by Hughie Shepherd-Cross and directed by Ted Walliker, starring Omar Ibrahim, Honor Santa Barnes, and Freddie Cohen.
