Tell Them We Were Here is an inspirational feature-length documentary about eight artists who show us why art is vital to a healthy society and reminds us that we are stronger together.

This intimate verité documentary follows D. Nelson — a devoted father, husband, and leader 16 years into a 40-year prison sentence — as he finds freedom and redemption with a small family of filmmakers and incarcerated men producing an unprecedented short film project inside the Washington State Penitentiary's media lab, and bonds with a young intern learning to forgive her formerly incarcerated mother.
