The
Woolf Within
Peter
Woolf was a prolific offender, ensconced in a world of violence
and depravity, who, by his own reckoning committed about 20,000
crimes. Then he burgled a house, fought with his victim and ended
up in prison yet again. This time though it was different. Peter met with
his victim, Will, in a restorative justice
session that took place in the prison. The meeting changed both their
lives for ever.
Peter and Will tell their stories in this film which coincided with the launch of Peter's book "The Damage Done" published by Bantam Press and the launch of the Why Me campaign founded by Will, and set up by and for victims of crime who have benefited from restorative justice and want others to be able to benefit from the same opportunity.
