One of the more memorable " films " I've see. Thug gets hold of a camera snuck in by a thug guard and films an expose of the dark side of prison life.
It takes some doing for the prison system to take second place to anything but Omar manages to convince the viewer that he's where he belongs.
Omar's mom does a lot of talking to the viewer while letting us know all of her chilun' are or have been in the joint and her business of selling the DVD is done out of the trunk of her ( stolen ? ) car . The market will bear five bucks a pop.
This abomination had a showing at the Tribecca film festival , maybe a Liberal low point.. Devolution USA
