Best Documentary Film 2013 - Nominated
Thorberg
by Dieter Fahrer
Thorberg, Switzerland’s answer to Alcatraz, is a high security prison located on top of a rock. A ghetto housing convicts from over forty countries, it is a reflection of our global-ised world and its depths of despair. This is where the really bad guys are sent. But how bad is bad? How do people become bad in the first place and does prison make them better?
