The Cause
Everyday life in the heavily overcrowded PGV prison in Venezuela is run by the inmates themselves. The Cause sheds light on this dangerous prison from the inside, and the corrupt penitentiary system around it. Current and former prisoners give a staggering account of life in this parallel society and the search for liberation within it.
