The Film All-Nighter

Facilitated by a workshop programme with veterans, The Separate System explores the divisions and links between three clearly defined areas of society: the military, prison and everyday civilian life. What unites all three areas as an everyday activity is work – a reference point used by the film to mediate between the different worlds.
