HOLLOWAY + Q&A CO-HOSTED BY SISTAH SPACE

Running time: 85 mins

Genre:

Release Date: 22/07/2025

HOLLOWAY brings together six women who return to the now-closed Holloway Prison to share deeply personal stories of incarceration, trauma, and transformation. Through their women’s circle, the film explores how failing systems intersect with lived experience - and how sisterhood can spark healing and change.

Directed by BAFTA Breakthrough Brit Daisy-May Hudson and EMMY nominated Sophie Compton, HOLLOWAY had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for Best Documentary.

About Sistah Space

Founded in November 2015, Sistah space is an award winning community-based non-profit initiative created to bridge the gap in domestic abuse services for African heritage women and girls. The Sistah space is a specialist charity that supports African & Caribbean heritage women affected by domestic and sexual abuse, UK wide. Founded as a response to the tragic murder of Valerie Forde and her 22-month old daughter 'baby RJ’ by Valerie’s ex-partner (and baby RJ's father) in 2014. This catastrophic event highlighted the need for an organisation to tackle domestic abuse in African heritage families and was the catalyst for the creation of Sistah space. Through their expertise in providing support around domestic & sexual abuse, Sistah space addresses the specific needs of African & Caribbean heritage survivors of abuse by tackling the intersectionality of racism and gender based violence.
