Synopsis

Available in Docs for Sale after World Premiere at IDFA.

Marcos is in prison. His most prized possession is a mobile phone that was smuggled in by his girlfriend. Using it, he records and sends videos to Toia. Together, they create this film. Through this clandestine exchange, Do or Die tells the story of Marcos's life in prison. However, it is also a portrait of Toia and the unique relationship they develop. It is the story of someone who uses images as an escape from confinement.
