“An astonishing amount of lesbianism … a total underworld, corrupting and brilliantly drawn.”
—Vito Russo

Married and pregnant 19-year-old Marie winds up widowed and incarcerated after an armed robbery goes awry. Locked up, she finds herself subject to the whims of the butch matron. Originally offered to Bette Davis, who turned it down because she didn’t want to do a “dyke movie,” CAGED is a shocking exposé of life behind bars.

Screening with a video introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer, Elizabeth Purchell.
