Served: Full Documentary

I produced and directed this feature-length documentary for the Ministry of Justice, following the opening of a restaurant inside HMP Lincoln. Shot over 6 months on location, the film follows the personal journeys of inmates and staff as they race to open a restaurant with silver-star service behind bars, and also features Fred Sirieix of First Dates fame.
