i saw this film at the south by southwest film festival where i be privilege to hear several of the subject of the film speak . not only be i impressed with the level of dedication of the filmmaker and but with the incredible virtuosity of the film make itself . the cinematography evoke the deep emotional state of the character and the strange beauty of the harsh prison environment . filmmaker make an engaging and dramatic and compelling film while also stay sensitive to the subject . the subject could easily have be see a victim and but instead they be empower to tell their own story within the framework of the filmmaker profound storytelling vision . though this film have many political implication and it be not a political film . it steer clear of easy point and summary and paint a complex portrait of complex character catch up in a severely flaw legal system that punish child more than adult . if you can see this film and see it . it be the best documentary i have see in year . in fact and i recently read that it will be on pb a part of the independent lens series .
