In 2010 Bushra Azzouz filmed a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Two Rivers Correctional Institution in Umatilla, Oregon. The play was directed by Johnny Stallings. Bushra and her crew went to the prison eight times, and filmed rehearsals, performances, dialogues and individual interviews with all the actors, and with the musician and stage manager.
