Four women incarcerated in the federal penitentiary Joliette Institution, an afro-contemporary dance artist and a videographer worked more than 30 hours on a filmed choreography. Three women put their personal experience with the relationship between incarceration and poverty to movement. In addition, two group sequences, inspired by the movements made by the four participants, were choreographed by the guest artist. A green screen was used in the filming of this video dance in order to create a background other than prison in post production.

Here is an excerpt from the final video. Please note that an original soundtrack is in the process of being created. The music currently heard is that which was used during the creation of the choreography.
