INCARCERATING US

is a feature-length documentary that exposes America’s prison problem and explores ways to unshackle the Land of the Free through vital criminal justice reforms. With 2.3 million people behind bars, the U.S. has the largest prison population in the history of the world.

Incarcerating US does a masterful job of explaining how the United States became the world’s largest jailer and what that dubious distinction means for families, communities, and taxpayers. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, you will walk away from this movie angry, informed, and - I hope - ready to demand change.”

“It's essential viewing for anyone who cares about America and our collective humanity.”

Ben Westhoff, Guardian UK

“Goes well beyond the headlines to expose in understandable terms the complex legal dynamics that make the war on drugs such a potent engine of excessive punishment and racial discrimination, while giving full voice to the human dignity of its victims.”
