Behind Seven Locked Doors
From jail to the Olympics! The true story of how one woman brought the beauty of flowers into a maximum security prison and changed forever the lives of murderers, prostitutes, drug dealers and addicts. June Strandberg taught the art of flower arranging to societies most forgotten. She battled prison officials to allow her women access to scissors, knives, rose strippers, wire cutters and a bolt cutter. Who knew that what was most prized would be poppy seeds for special opium brew! To June it wasn't about what her students, these incarcerated women had done but rather what they could be. A pinnacle of success was securing the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic bid to create the victory bouquets, but to June the real success was believing in her vision and seeing how the beauty of flowers transformed the soul. June's biography is a poetic gift. In her own words is the true meaning of flower power and a rare glimpse of life behind seven locked doors.
