I think most people know the film , so I won’t worry too much about spoilers , suffice to say we follow the prison life of Andy Dufresne (Jo Absolom) who is incarcerated in the notorious Shawshank Prison during the 1940s. Bright and optimistic and shouting his innocence in the double murder of his wife and her lover , Dufresne strives to change his lot and the lot of his fellow prisoners by making their existence a little more humane even though the Governor, officers and two predatory prisoners all connive to destroy him and his innate goodness.  Dufresne makes a lifetime friendship with Red Redding ( Ben Onwukwe) who like Morgan Freeman  did in the film, narrates the piece with similar chocolate tones but with...
