The Wits School of Arts Film & TV Division will host a special screening event of the documentary Incarcerated Knowledge , directed by Dylan Valley.

In the documentary Peter has a dream of becoming a hip hop artist. He has survived Pollsmoor Prison and managed to break with the notorious ‘28s’ gang. We follow him from his first day as a free man and experience the challenges he faces in reintegrating himself into his community.

He goes to live in his mother’s house. But has his family dealt with the crime he committed? The documentary provides an insight into those who are trying to break the cycle of violence in our society. There will be a post screening Q & A session with Valley.
