A Tale of Singers and Murderers



Meet the prisoners competing to participate in Russia's prison song contest and the woman inspiring them to sing.


Every year, prisoners across Russia dream of taking part in the annual Kalina Krasnaya Prison Song Contest.
It is open to all of Russia's approximately 700,000 prisoners and thousands of applications are submitted each year.
They all end up with the contest's director, Natalia Abashkina, a woman for whom Kalina Krasnaya has become an all-consuming passion.
"It's my life, my destiny, my love," she explains.
