In How Do You Know My Daughter? one inmate enjoys a private dramatic coaching session in a Nottinghamshire prison while a group of friends in London (inmates, ex-offenders and professional actors) meet to discuss a common bond formed through the presentation of a play within a London correctional centre's chapel. This is one of the inaugural Dreaming Will films, a joint venture between the London Shakespeare Workout Prison Project and Prisons Video Magazine, which offers inmates the chance to learn the 'applied literacie'.

In The Guv'nor Alan Mortlock is a born-again Christian who organises unlicensed boxing fights. He fell into a life of petty crime at an early age which progressed rapidly on to far more violent activities. In 1990 Mortlock reached his lowest ebb, with a failing marriage and no money surrounded by violence and crime. It was at this time that he saw a god-like figure which led him towards the church. Leaving a life of crime behind, he embarked on a career as a boxing promoter, and started the Independent Boxing Association to get kids off the street. The film follows Alan from training sessions to church and ultimately to fight-night.
