Raw and unflinching, Trapped tells the story of Raye, a woman trapped in an abusive relationship, battling to reclaim her freedom and survive. The film follows her desperate bid to break away while exposing the devastating reach of violence and control. It premieres at Genesis Cinema in London on 8 November 2025, ahead of its digital release on Amazon Prime, Google Play, and iTunes from 17 November 2025.
The film features a powerful ensemble led by Gina Jones, alongside Shane McCormick, Craig Fairbrass, Geoff Bell, Simon Manyonda, Eddie Webber, Josh Witcher, Calum MacNab, Lottie Lewis, Kadeem Ramsay, Miguella Charley, Aimée Hills, Karen Seacombe, Byron Gibson, Tom Gordon, Tom Padley, and James Hicks. Directed by Roland Manookian, known for Castle in the Sky and EastEnders, the film brings together a striking mix of established and emerging talent.
Behind the camera, Trapped represents a key partnership between Shane McCormick’s new outfit, Move Mountains Production, and actor, writer, and producer Josh Witcher. Manookian’s screenplay expands on an original story conceived by Witcher.
Drawing comparisons to Gary Oldman’s Nil by Mouth, the film delves deep into the emotional and psychological cost of domestic abuse, showing how far its damage spreads. Gritty and character-driven, Trapped promises to challenge, disturb, and move its audience in equal measure.
