Our film goes back inside the maximum security Angola Prison in Louisiana 10 years after the Academy-nominated, multiple-Emmy winning documentary, "The Farm," to learn the fate of the surviving characters, and of 5,200 men - 95% of whom will die there - whose quest for meaning and longing for redemption sustain them in one of America's darkest corners.
The Ford Foundation is sponsoring screenings nation-wide to inspire discussion
of critical issues in our judicial system.

Highest Common Denominator Fund has created an online community, GabrielCity.com, where the discussion of criminal justice continues, and where the one-in-nine Americans affected by the criminal justice system (directly or through a family member) can contribute an underrepresented perspective to that discussion.
This online community is under construction,
and will be populated by those who "live" there.
Visit GabrielCity.com to watch the community grow.
