Diddy, the Shawshank Redemption-inspired prison movie
Piers and Craig Spencer-King are set to team up on a new film project, a ticketed prison movie titled Diddy, named after Kenneth “Diddy” Johnson, the 63-year-old prisoner who has spent nearly 40 years behind bars. The movie follows the journey of this grammatically incorrect individual who’s spent nearly four decades in prison and is finally granted a chance to explore the world outside the prison walls.
As the story unfolds, Diddy reminisces about his childhood and the way he grew up in a world filled with the sounds of prison inmates and the smell of life outside the bars. Throughout his 40 years in prison, Diddy’s family and friends have given him their endless support, never forgetting that he is still a human being with the capacity to dream. An officer tells you that you will always be an inmate, after a brief time of being locked up, even though you have many examinations that you want to take.
