Cattività

About This Movie

Cattività is a raw look into the lives of women behind bars, set in the claustrophobic atmosphere of Vigevano prison. The documentary captures the workshop led by Mimmo Sorrentino, weaving together the harsh realities of their circumstances with moments of resilience. The pacing feels organic; it never rushes, almost as if it’s giving the viewer time to absorb the weight of each story. The performances from these women—real and unfiltered—are striking, creating a poignant contrast to the backdrop of organized crime they once inhabited. What stands out is the exploration of freedom, both physical and psychological, even in confinement. It’s not just a documentary; it’s an immersive experience into the human spirit's fight for liberation.
