Punishment Park | Another Brick In The Wall

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL

MUBI has collaborated with Second Home to curate a series of film screenings which focuses on youth and revolt, raising awareness of politics and the importance of having a voice.


PUNISHMENT PARK
Tuesday 26th May
Dir. Peter Watkins, 1971

After it's controversy-stoking premiere at the New York Film Festival, Hollywood refused to distribute the film and it was barely seen until it's DVD release in 2005. Set in a detention camp in an America of the near-future, Punishment Park‘s pseudo-documentary style places a British film crew amongst a group of young dissidents who, faced with lengthy jail time, have opted to spend three days in ’Bear Mountain Punishment Park’.
