Contact

In 2019, filmmakers begin a conversation with brave incarcerated activists, whose mission has been to use non-violent means to expose conditions inside Alabama’s state prison system. What follows is a six-year long inquiry into systemic abuse of power, and a real time investigation into a brutal killing and coverup. The result is a myth-busting journey through a hellscape kept secret from the public, told by men who transcend their circumstances to speak out against a corrupt system, and to insist on their own humanity in the face of profound harm.

Co-Director, The Alabama Solution

Andrew Jarecki’s work over the past 25 years has won Emmy, Peabody, Sundance Grand Jury, and NY Film Critics Circle awards, and been nominated for the Academy Award. His twelve-part HBO series The Jinx (Parts One and Two) led to Robert Durst’s arrest and conviction for murder. He directed and produced the narrative feature that led to that series, entitled All Good Things, starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst. Jarecki’s groundbreaking documentary Capturing the Friedmans won 18 international prizes and led to the conviction review of a notorious criminal case. Among other films, he produced the feature documentary Catfish and the related MTV series, now in its twelfth season. He is a graduate of Princeton University and a board member of The Marshall Project.
