This film examines the impact of mass incarceration and wrongful convictions in BIPOC communities in New York City. Starting with the prison industrial complex, it reflects on how the disproportionate number of incarcerated BIPOC people relates to the rise of for-profit prisons. Through depictions of political demonstrations and personal accounts of incarceration, this film advocates for the reform of criminal justice systems and greater investments into non-policing forms of public safety and community support.
