The selected characters featured in the 50 are the the tour de force,, ... the reenactments sometime divert from the quiddity of their stories. There are lot moments that grab a viewer that could be further elaborated but overall it brings the message clear and loud. I felt there was a more to say about the tribulations and doubts in the characters journey that had to cause a lot of anxieties in the process. I am sure, some fall backs and relapses in the program effort that are not spelled out. The politics inside the prisons and outside the administration mix is touched marginally with the guard interview but it is perhaps sufficient as the story focuses on the characters.
