Gorgona is Europe’s last agricultural penal colony. Located 19 miles off the Tuscan coast, this remote prison island is home to ninety inmates, who spend their days outdoors, immersed in pristine natural beauty. “Gorgona” is an intimate window into the daily lives of five inmates. From caring for livestock to farming the land, these men are offered the chance to learn a trade and life skills that can help them reintegrate into society.
