Every year about&nbsp;300,000 kids&nbsp;are confined in youth detention in the US, limiting their potential to succeed in life.- 70-80% will be re-arrested within 2 or 3 years of being released- Nearly ⅔ will never complete high school. Richmond, Virginia’s families, police, judges, artists, and activists have united to change this in their own community.&nbsp; Virtually Free&nbsp;is a documentary about unlikely allies who partner to transform the juvenile justice system and stop mass incarceration.&nbsp;Produced by the non-profit media company<a href="http://www.shineglobal.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;Shine Global</a>, Virtually Free is directed by André Robert Lee In the film, we meet Sid, Taee, and AR, three teens currently being held in a Richmond, VA detention center who are offered the chance to&nbsp;become activists speaking truth to power.&nbsp;Participating in a local arts organizations’ program, Performing Statistics,&nbsp;they are taught by different artists&nbsp;to deliver their powerful, authentic messages to the public, law enforcement, and government officials using their art, including&nbsp;a virtual reality jail cell&nbsp;they’ve helped create.&nbsp; We also hear from&nbsp;Richmond police officers, including Richmond Chief of Police Alfred Durham. He’s requiring all officers to go through a special&nbsp;training that incorporates the VR jail cell experience the teens created. We meet the first officers in the rookie police class as they go through the training, and hear them reflect on how it relates to their new job.Virtually Free&nbsp;ultimately looks at how a community can&nbsp;work together to create a city that is livable for all its citizens&nbsp;and the challenges they face in doing so. Knowing that youth in trouble need education, guidance, and a network of support to get back on track, Richmond’s families, police, judges, artists, and activists are trying to work together to empower teens.&nbsp;
