The crazy story and the crazy history of ‘Prison Valley’

    Prison Valley is a collective adventure that started in December 2008. It is both a photo/video/literary investigation and something completely new: a web documentary.

    Prison Valley is a hybrid production that draws on three different kinds of experience – photography (Philippe Brault), documentary (David Dufresne) and web development (Upian Production). The web version of Prison Valley aims to offer the viewer various original narrative experiences.

    Produced in Paris (France) by Upian and Arte.tv and supported by the Centre national du cinéma, Prison Valley is also a TV documentary, an iPhone application and a book (to be published by Democratic Books / Arte Editions in September 2010).

    The aim of this forum is to explore all of these different avenues together. New writing, new horizons, new partnerships, new media.

    Don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see!

    Innovative proposal, excellent art work, but too much talk in the videos.

    Lovely work with the camera angles, web design, and the art work... But you're only getting half the story. My name is Kayla Nicole and I've lived in Canon City Colorado since I was in the second grade. I'll be in eleventh grade in a few weeks. My home in the web documentary wasn't portrayed completely accurately. I'm up for any questions anyone has about my lovely town!

    I'm curious, Canongurl, what you think was not accurately portrayed. I'm interested in your critique of the story.

    how do you get past the alcatraz of the rockies scene, and why is the ensuing scene about the gas chambers unavailable?

    Hi dmcgrath01,

    Actually there is a little bug. We are working on it. Due to an hosting trouble.
    We plan to fix it very soon.

    We will tell you when everything is OK.

    Is there a table of contents by chapter? I couldn't load the scene on the Riviera innkeeper on Safari, changed over to Firefox, logged in again and now can't get back to it. Each time I log in it takes me further away... A simple table of contents would allow us to navigate freely... in a way the prisoners can't!
