Documentary re-telling the story of the UK's worst prison riot.
In April 1990, inmates seized control of Strangeways prison in Manchester, a siege which would last for 25 days.
The riot erupted as a protest against inhumane conditions inside Strangeways, but the consequences rippled across the prison system and are still with us 30 years later
