PRISON IS BACK!
The multi-award-winning documentary series returns, this time switching its gaze from men's prison HMP Durham to HMP Foston Hall - a woman's jail. Here more than 300 women are banged up for everything from non-payment of fines to murder. Yet Director Paddy Wivell finds humour and tenderness in every corner in 'St Trinians on crack' as one inmate describes it.
Monday nights at 9 pm on Channel 4. Not to be missed!

How to Stay Out of Jail
Next week Channel 4 is showing Spring's HOW TO STAY OUT OF JAIL following an elite police team whose extraordinary mission is to not to send criminals to prison. Based in County Durham each year the local police apprehend thousands of offenders accused of everything from drugs to assault to child neglect or domestic abuse. Some offenders are given a once in a lifetime chance to reform and cancel out their crime by joining a tough 16-week scheme. If they fail it's off to court and possibly prison.
Directed by Jemma Gander with Assistant Producer Martha Baily. The Executive producers were Kathy Myers and Richard Melman

Meeting Gorbachev… again!
Spring Films hosted a special premiere of the Werner Herzog / André Singer film ‘Meeting Gorbachev’ in Moscow in front of Mikhail Gorbachev. The last President of the Soviet Union arrived against the advice of his doctors insisting that he wanted to see the film.
“The film is good. I can judge what is good and what is bad, including in my own life. But I like this film. It’s realistic and it’s dramatic - like life itself!” – Mikhail Gorbachev
