Talking about the doc u ment, Dooley shared her experience of making it:
“It was tricky. The central question was “can we rehabilitate these people?” They’re the only people who serve a crime and people aren’t willing to give them a second chance to, but I’ve filmed so much with victims and survivors of abuse and child-abuse and it’s no secret that my loyalties lie with them. So it was tricky to navigate such an emotional topic, but it was really interesting.”
She also shared her most scary experience while filming a doc u mentary was in Iraq. She explained:
“Iraq. Iraq is f** King scary man. I been to Honduras, Congo and lots of hostile areas – but Iraq was just another level for me. Mosul is intense. And we were there three months after it had been liberated, so there were still loads of IEDs unexploded, there were still sleeper cells, and there was a lot going on. So you put things in place so that if it kicks you have a route out – but you never really know. I’m always frightened in Iraq.”
