Kimonti Carter is serving life without parole in a Washington state prison based on a harsh 1990s three-strikes law, but rather than accept this condemnation, he has worked to transform inmates’ lives through education. His experience brilliantly elucidates the dehumanization and trauma that accompany incarceration, but also demonstrates the possibility of redemption even among those society has called irredeemable.

Gilda Sheppard’s profound and revealing film, set in Tacoma, represents a 12-year journey to investigate the circumstances and inequities that have landed a whole generation of African-American youth in prison.
Q & A with the filmmaker will follow.
Movie run time: 105 minutes.
