What was it?
Unbound at HMP/YOI Brinsford was a pilot film project delivered in partnership with PACT in 2024.
The Kestrel team worked with a group of young offenders to deliver a film project across two days. The end result was ‘Gone Fishin’’, a comic short film inspired by one of the participants’ love of fishing and how those memories serve as coping mechanism for him in challenging moments.
