An alarmingly disproportionate number of Black women are failed every year by the U.S. maternal health system. Shamony Gibson and Amber Rose Isaac were vibrant, excited mothers-to-be whose deaths due to childbirth complications were preventable. Now, their partners and families are determined to sound a rallying cry around this chilling yet largely ignored crisis.

A generation of California men endure decades of solitary confinement and, against all odds, launch a protest to regain their freedom.

This film follows Troy Dunmore, who was convicted to 65 years-to-life. He was released through this new law, Prosecutor-Initiated Resentencing (PIR), in 2021. At 58 years old, Troy had served 26 years in prison and had 39-years-to-life remaining on his sentence. This film was co-produced by Thanh Tran, who was also released through PIR, and was created following ethical storytelling guidelines he helped establish at our organization – ensuring Troy was able to tell his story on his own terms.
