A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF THE DARK MATTER OF LOVE AND director Sarah McCarthy's first film MURDERERS ON THE DANCEFLOOR which tells the story behind a YouTube clip which has been viewed by over 50 million people. In this incredible clip, 1500 Filipino prisoners dance to Michael Jackson's Thriller. But Thriller isn't the only dance the prisoners perform; their dazzling repertoire includes Giorgio Moroder's Electric Dreams, Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby and I Will Follow Him from Sister Act.

The dance spectaculars are the brain-child of prison overseer, Byron Garcia, a megalomaniac who claims that since he introduced the dance regime there hasn't been a single violent incident. But how does he get murderers and rapists to dance so brilliantly? And what happens if an inmate refuses? ‘Murderers’ is a stylish and darkly comic mix of investigation and reportage that won both praise and controversy for its director.

Preview of Murderers on the Dance Floor view on youtube.
