This is a look at several people in the District of Columbia who were sentenced to life sentenced at a young age and were given a chance to get our under program to give them a second chance.
Every year I get a offered a lot of films about crime and punishment. There are tons of films on all sides of criminal justice, however this is the first one that I've seen that not only looks at a program to get people second chances and to follow them for more than a short time. I could be wrong, but this was the first time I really got a sense of the program and the people in a way that no other film ever gave me. I love that we really get a sense of change that the men made to be able to be released. I really felt as though we were getting a full portrait of everyone.
This film was a joy. It's a hopeful portrait of a program we need to consider across the country.
