This screening is in partnership with ACLU of Indiana, a non-profit, non-partisan organization that has been defending and protecting individual rights and personal freedoms for more than 70 years. Serving all 92 counties, we work across issue areas including immigrants’ rights, criminal justice reform, LGBTQ rights, voting rights, and more. Through education, advocacy, and litigation, we empower Hoosiers, hold those in power accountable, and fight to ensure civil liberties are protected for all.
At one of the country’s most notorious maximum security prisons, a group of incarcerated men prepare for a TED-style event that showcases their personal narratives along with ideas for changing the prison system and healing their communities. With immersive access to Sing Sing prison, the film follows the speakers’ journeys from auditions to their climactic moments on stage, highlighting themes of vulnerability, healing and redemption.
