In 2009, when I was invited to this new prison as a guest speaker, my mind was blown away. Inmates were conducting their own seminars on such as childhood issues and criminal behaviors. Sitting in circles with them, I witnessed the level of authenticity in their talks. While an inmate shared his painful story, others responded with honesty and respect. It took me 6 years to win approval to film inside the prison. Prison Circle is my commitment to show difficult yet important approach for transformation.
