What it's about
An 18-year-old man, living on a Dublin housing estate with his grandfather, is caught holding drugs for his friend's older brother and sentenced to 3 months in prison.
The take
With his dad in jail and mom lost to a drug overdose, Michael lives a lonely life with his grandpa in Dublin.
A minor drug bust sends him to jail for three months and implicates his grand-father with a gang.
Michael Inside uses this brief period of incarceration to offer commentary on the Irish underclass, both inside prisons and out. It's a tough watch that aims for realism and doesn't miss.
