Negative Positive
Title: Dump your expectations. There are no stereotypes here.
Review: When I chose to buy Lion's Den after having seen only the trailer I was mostly interested in seeing another culture's take on the 'women behind bars' movie. I got way more than I expected. This is not the stereotypical story of a women's prison. In fact, it's not about the prison at all. It's about the women. They're all real people, no all black or all white characters. The plot is not cut and dried. The guards, the prisoners, the families, the lawyers all are very human and it's not always easy to decide whose side you should be on, despite how you feel. Things are done very differently than they would be in an American prison. But that's not the story. The story is about a woman in prison for a crime she may or may not have committed and her desperation to keep her son with her. It's tough, tender real story that will stay with you long after it's over.
