Prison TV (E8) Discovering prison tea drink called chifir’

Aleksandr, Sergey and Boris are prison inmates, but they refuse to succumb to the boredom of jail. They found their true passion behind a barbed wire fence: TV reporting. The three friends work for IK-2 TV, a cable channel, broadcasting to inmates from inside the prison. While interviewing other convicts and working in different parts of the prison, they discover a lot of new and interesting things about the place, and the people living there and their own hidden talents.

Sergey is getting ready to see his grandmother during a twice-monthly family visit. Meanwhile, other convicts return to filming the documentary about the prison, experimenting with their home-made Steadicam. They also talk about chifir’ – a strong tea drink, often associated with Russian prison. Aleksandr, Pavel and Sergey show how to brew ‘chifir’ and describe its mind-altering effects.
