Netflix Documentary: Happy Jail

Netflix Documentary: Happy Jail

Happy Jail is a five episode Netflix's original documentary series about Cebu's dancing inmates. If you haven't heard of them yet, they are the inmates from Cebu, Philippines dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in the video whose gone viral in YouTube some time in 2008. It also depicts the life inside, how they cope and how they make their lives more bearable even when inside the prison. The documentary also tells revolves around Marco Toral, an ex-convict, who was made a consultant for CPDRC.

I highly recommend the film and I know that there are more stories to tell beyond the 5 episode but I enjoyed it a lot. Kudos to Michele Josue for creating this kind of film.
