Filmed over four years at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, Jenifer McShane's MOTHERS OF BEDFORD explores the effects of a long-term prison sentence on the relationship between a mother and child. 

The documentary follows five prisoners and mothers in dual struggles to be engaged in their children's lives and become their better selves. Is it possible to become a better mother while serving time in a maximum security prison?

Whether it be parenting's normal frustrations to celebrating a special day, from both inside and out of the prison walls, this moving film provides unprecedented access to a little known, rarely shown, community of women.
