Greenlit: My Parent’s in Prison, BBC1
My Parent’s In Prison w/t (1 x 60′) – The number of children with a dad or mum behind bars is growing at an alarming rate. While their parent is on the inside, children on the outside – ashamed, embarrassed, and sometimes bullied at school – can often feel ostracised by their communities, and suffer stigma alone and in silence. This documentary will shed light on this hidden population and the day-to-day challenges they face.
Following a group of children over the summer months into autumn, the programme will explore their diverse experiences and perspectives on ‘losing’ a parent to the justice system. Whether it’s witnessing arrest, saying goodbye to a parent at the end of an all-too-brief prison visit, or dealing with the latest insult thrown in the school playground, we hear about the hidden sentences families serve on the outside from those who feel it most.
