Ciara Lacy's documentary follows native Hawaiian inmates who are sent to a private prison in Arizona and the questions they face with their identities and lives upon release back home. It's a film that takes a hard look at the prison system as a continued legacy of colonialism, while also questioning how life inside a recreation yard can lead these men to maintaining their cultural heritage and working to rehabilitate their relationships with their families. Lacy builds a powerful experience that will make you question how look at others struggling and how we can heal.
