Not another “broken prison” film, this collaboration is a “broken society” film—an ambitious and inspired rebuild of our community from the inside out. By exploring alternatives to prison through the eyes of women behind bars and empowering them to reimagine their lives through artistic practices, the film compels viewers to examine why we imprison the most vulnerable among us, and at what cost.
