I rarely feel the need to comment on films but this one had a really profound impact on me. Very powerful. I'll be sure to check out the rest in this series.

You could always try counting the F-words. It might be more rewarding than trying to make sense of Baroness Kennedy’s fourth diatribe against the legal system in the BBC’s animated documentary series Blind Justice.

We start with rules - which are apparently a bad thing. A joke-father tries to stop his teenage daughter from dressing and behaving like a slut. In the best traditions of social protest, she ignores him, only to get raped, then jailed for theft. In jail, she finds herself having to conform strictly to one set of rules (the criminal code), while screaming her defiance of the official regulations, so not surprisingly, she finds herself in solitary confinement until eventually released - still protesting all along the way.

Totally unreformed, she is jailed again, before receiving anger management at a halfway-house establishment. Apparently the anger is still there, but “I can use it in a constructive way” she says - suddenly switching into bourgeois speech, as carefully coached, I suspect, by the bien-pensants of Broadcasting House.

It all makes good entertainment, with some strong graphics - more impressive than the animatic effects - but it is hard to know what outcome can be expected from these scrambled messages, even when delivered in authentic jailbird language for effect.

When Kipling started writing in cockney vernacular, critics asked him if he wouldn’t mind reverting to plain English. The Baroness might have done better with just a straight lecture on the benefits of the half-way house for discharged prisoners.
