How art saves lives, told through the eyes of former prisoner Stephen Greer and current inmates at Magilligan Prison in Northern Ireland.
Stephen Greer served many years in prison for drugs, firearm and paramilitary offences. During his last sentence, Stephen started taking art classes. It changed his life. Stephen returns to Magilligan for the first time since his release to trial a new pilot scheme teaching art to prisoners. Will art transform their lives as it did his?
As we watch their work evolve, the prisoners reveal their own stories. Robert Rusek is serving two years for criminal damage, assault and breaching a restraining order. Piaras Heatley is serving five years for actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm and assault.
Stephen shares the moving story of how art saved his life and why he's on a crusade to spread the healing benefits of art.
