REVIEWS

Susan Phillips
Turning Wheel Journal of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship
full review

"A stunning film: moving, just right! It gives a very valuable picture of how women come to be in prison, and the futility of keeping them there."
Leslie Acoca, Writer and Senior Researcher
National Council on Crime & Delinquency

"Every legislature that lavishes money on building prisons--and starves programs that rebuild dignity--should be put in a room with this unforgettable story of four women's lives."
Gloria Steinem

"The women and their children give us a powerful understanding of how prison impacts on their lives. Extraordinarily insightful!"
J. Herman Blake
Vice Chancellor, Indiana University (Purdue)

"A tribute to the healing power of the human spirit: these women challenge us to heal our entire society."
Barbara Christian
Professor of African American Studies, UC Berkeley
