LONDON: BBC Three has commissioned a three-part investigative documentary series with filmmaker Livvy Haydock from Antidote Productions, the first of which exposes the shocking levels of contraband getting into U.K. prisons.<\/p>\n
In the first production, Haydock investigates the rise of contraband inside British prisons and uncovers the links in the chain on both sides of the law. She spends time with criminals who are selling drugs to prisoners behind bars and making good money from it. Details on the other two films in the series will be announced shortly.<\/p>\n
Haydock commented: \u201cThis film exposes the shocking levels of contraband getting into U.K. prisons. Hearing from those on the front line I discover just how out of control things are.”<\/p>\n
Leila Monks, director of the film and co-founder of Antidote Productions, said: “We’re really proud of this documentary as it reveals the complexities of an underground network that is hidden from view. Livvy is the perfect person to help navigate this world and we’re glad to be championing new female talent.”<\/p>\n
Damian Kavanagh, controller of BBC Three, remarked: \u201cLivvy is a brilliant new talent and BBC Three is all about backing new talent. I\u2019m confident these new films will open our audience\u2019s eyes to the world around them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
