Bryan Stevenson: There's a history of untold cruelty that hides in silence in this country. This documentary was a little hard to watch but it might help some understand the need to treat mass incarceration as an urgent human rights issue. And we could learn a lot from Germany if we truly wanted to change. Because of their history of concentration camps, Germany outlawed the death penalty. They think it's unconscionable with that history of killing people to ever again have state-sanctioned killing. They paid reparations to Israel and made many attempts (still do!) to reconcile with their victims. For doing that, Germany has prospered economically, fostered a culture of fairness and is one of or the most respected countries in Europe.

The rating path for this film will certainly speak to the subject of the film.

Very touching, moving and well made. Manages what politics doesn't, to give new life to a very old narrative.

Thank you, Bryan.

All of my friends should watch this. The absolute ongoing animalistic way that they treated people, and to this day still commit atrocities on some level. Mass incarceration, inequitable sentencing, unfair housing practices, sabotaging careers, it never stops. Just awful. Imagine this being done to you and your loved ones, and having to still make it through life.
