Stitchers explores the problems at the heart of our penal system. Based on a true story, Stitchers features an extraordinary central character, an unlikely meeting of two very different worlds, and a script that is by turns brilliantly funny and deeply moving.

​

Stitchers tells the true story of wild and irreverent Lady Anne Tree. Who against all odds, pushes her way into high security prisons and teaches ‘lifers’ skilled embroidery.

​

The much beloved high society maverick traded in luncheons and village fetes to campaign tirelessly for hardened criminals. The men come to class after 23 hour bang up. Riled and delirious, she disarms them with the finer details of needlepoint.

​

We watch them put down their weapons, and surrender their fury. Maroon wool and artichoke kits keep the peace.
