A brutal tale of injustice, corruption and alliance in one of the world’s most notorious boys correctional facilities. King of Devil’s Island is gripping and refuses to let go until it’s epic conclusion.
Based on a true story, set in 1915, the film follows the lives of a group of boys banished to the prison-island of Bastøy (Devil’s Island) off the coast of Norway. The majority of boys here are more victims of circumstance than hardened criminals, with various minor offenses landing them an extended stay at the facility.
