The Sentence

The best documentary I have watched in a very long time. This is definitely a must see for everyone. This family and their love and support for each other is truly amazing.

I cannot stop thinking about the husband after watching this film. What he did for his wife and children was amazingly selfless. He took on that burden in a gentle and loving way. At the end of the movie, however, you could see that the sweet lovely caring man had become somewhat jaded. Who wouldn't? He was forced to take something on that he never signed up for. Never mind 'for better or for worse'. No matter how much he loves his wife, resentment had to rear its ugly head frequently over the years. God bless him and his family. His in-laws are heartwarmingly beautiful people-the real deal. Provocative subject matter very well done.

The Sentence is an exquisite look into what happens to a family when the mother is in prison for over nine years. I felt every emotion each family member felt. The Sentence is beautifully filmed. How this wonderful brother documented the life of his sister's three daughters as their father brings them upside cc unfolds in a most tender way.

Min mandatory sentences are one of the worse things that has been done to the American justice system. This doc, shows one families struggle to deal with unjust sentencing guidelines. If your not in tears when you are at the end of it. You do not have a soul. Be warned. You will need a big box of tissues! Punishment should fit the crime.

If you like one sided human interest stories, this is an okay watch. Nothing extraordinary, overly interesting, or compelling.

Her parents were farm workers when they came here. Father became a small business owner, mother a school teacher, the daughter a criminal.

As for the non-violence tripe, ask the boyfriend's family or victims of drug use.
