It's Criminal

This documentary is a powerful experience that enables you to confront abstract issues such as privilege, poverty, and the criminal justice system face-to-face, in flesh and blood, and through person-to-person encounters. A small class of Dartmouth students are brought to a small county jail where they are teamed up with a group of female inmates to produce a theater production about the experiences of the incarcerated women. Of course, it becomes a journey of exploration and interaction between real people who learn about what they have in common despite their differences in circumstance. The NH Bar Foundation where I work helped fund this production so I am a bit biased, but I found it really absorbing and thought-provoking. I look forward to meeting some of the people involved in the production at screenings planned in New Hampshire in the fall of 2018.
