Friends on the Outside is an experimental short documentary that tells the story of Jamie, exploring how foraging for weeds and caring for birds has helped him recover from mental illness and the chronic stress of incarceration. It questions why the UK prison system is currently in its biggest expansion in more than a century, exposing the naturalising language used around this expansion.
