IN EXCHANGE FOR FLESH is an exposé that confronts the strip frisk: a daily ritual in prisons that often blurs the line between safety and abuse. Using unprecedented access to New York State prisons and buried archival, the film transforms contraband into testimony, and humiliation into resistance and healing.
