According to Delphi, the cinematographic study of Brasa Prison and its inhabitants has been nominated for the Greater Kristaps Awards in three categories, including “Best Feature Documentary”.
Documentary “Unseen, Brasa!” researching the modern prison environment shortly before the closure of Brasa Prison, all the staff and prisoners seen in the film were filmed in the last months of the prison’s operation. The upcoming changes were not only an interesting moment for filming, they made the making of a film possible at all – in a hitherto tightly closed institution. Ivars Zviedris was able to move and film relatively freely. The director focuses not only on people, but on the building itself – it seems that the narrow corridors of the institution built in 1905, the heavy doors, the described walls, everything is imbued with what can already be called history.
“The film” On the unseen, Brasa! “Is my two-month adventure in Brasa Prison before it closed.

In the film, the viewer also gets to know other prisoners, their life stories and life, learns life plans after release.
