Programmer's Pick

A steamy slab of Italian-Brazilian exploitation, Women in Fury throws Angela into a pit of jungle heat, predatory inmates, and barely-buttoned uniforms. If your idea of high drama includes corrupt officials, scantily clad showdowns, and a not-so-friendly welcome to prison, you’ve come to the right cellblock.
