Beyond the Fold - In Production

Ryan is brimming with optimism to own his own sheep farm in anticipation of his release from a Northern Irish prison. But the harsh realities that await him on the outside soon threaten to unravel his ambitions. Filmed on two sides of the prison walls, the film contemplates whether Ryan’s path is destined by the weight of his community and family history, or if it is within his power to break the cycle.
