As someone who spent their careeer working in children's mental health, this documentary rightly stresses what we have said for years- " it is easier to build up a child, than to repair an adult". Thank you for this gift of an eye into these men's lives.
First review here but like others have said, this is definitely worth looking at. A different perspective on these types of things is always nice and all, but the message that each person sends is special and has a long-lasting effect. There are some documentaries where afterwards you're left contemplating life; this one makes you realise these people have not only been doing that for years, but will most likely continue doing so for decades more, all the while we have the freedom to make our own choices. Yeah, it hits that hard.
I don't usually write reviews but this documentary was fantastic and needs to be shown to a bigger audience. I really didn't know what to expect; I watch a lot of similar shows about prisons and life inside but this is unlike any others out there. Of course they've had a long time to reflect on their crimes and life prior so the insight was compelling. I loved seeing their creativity and they way they collaborated together.
They make it known in the beginning their intent to make this film is not to get sympathy. I truly believe getting this out there to more people could help other young people identify their current situation and encourage them to get help before they make that decision that could change the rest of their lives. Even adults who already have their minds made up about inmates, what they see them to be like, to offer them a new perspective as well.
I loved every minute, definitely watch this film!

Absolutely captivating! Enjoyed every single second of it! I highly recommend it for everyone, specially for teenagers and young adults. It surely can be life changing for many people. Best thing about it, its all REAL. Makes you think a lot about your life and the decisions you make and will make. Excellent work. Definitely 10/10. A true gem.

- Crazy creditsThe United States has less than 5% of the world's population, but nearly 25% of the world's incarcerated population. 2.2 million people are in prison today 95% of them will be released, but two-thirds of them will be reincarnated. And yet, innovative to prison now exist. By providing healing for all, we can begin to build true justice systems, rather than penal ones.
