Everynight...everynight

Ray Mooney wrote and produced his stage play which put life in H Divsion Pentridge under the microscope. It is shot in black and white; the gritty nature of which underpins the brutality and bleakness of the prison and its inmates. Dale, a remand prisoner and notorious hitman, is thrown into H Division where he is subjected to beatings, relentless mind games and mental cruelty at the hands of the warders led by Berriman. Despite the efforts to break his spirit, Dale becomes a law unto himself in order to survive. This film is an indictment of systems. Systems which are open to abuse, to corruption; systems where police can behave like criminals and get away with it. Systems which can alienate and deprive people of their dignity to the extent that violence is a power seeking device from men who have never known influence or affluence.
