This year’s Women Inmates’ Award was presented at the closing ceremony of the Montreal International Documentary Film Festival (RIDM) by a member of the Jury and a representative of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Quebec. The Jury rewarded a magnificent documentary, praising the film with the following words: “For offering us a window on “the other” through an original staging, for giving us access to the reality of these young people who have engaged in the process with honesty and without restraint, and because this work is not only touching, but also necessary, we reward the film Bagages, directed by Mélissa Lefebvre and Paul Tom. » © RIDM photos 2017, Nasuna.
