Prison?
Prison? — In October 1993 Charlie Ryder took part in a violent protest to shut down the Nazi headquarters in Welling, South East London. Two months later he was featured on Crime Monthly a program which appealed for some of Britain’s most wanted criminals. Arrested the next morning he waited nearly 2 years before he was sent to prison for 16 months charged with riot.  While in prison he recieved a letter of support from a British Holocaust survivor Leon Greenman who was also at the march to shut down the nazi headquarters in Welling. Charlie kept this letter in a scrapbook with poetry and art work which was created to record his time inside. On his release from prison he developed the scrapbook into a one man play which was critically acclaimed at Edinburgh Fringe festival in Aug 2007 and then toured prisons, universities and conferences. Charlie has now developed his story into a feature film using shadow puppets, marionette puppets, rod puppets, object puppets, masks, visual art, poetry and dance to shine a light on his time inside. Charlie hopes that by painting a picture of his time inside it will educate and challenge perceptions of prisoners and prison.
