although I thought at first that this would be a movie about the process of making the play in the prison, it actually being an adaptation of Shakespeares Caesar makes it really interesting. I had no idea they were natural actors, and that definitely made it a fantastic movie either way amazing acting. my favorite sequence was the part when they kill ceasar, because of the great acting, monologues and the photography. definitely worth checking out

there’s something so real about watching the inmates in this movie connect with the play on a deeper level than just memorizing their lines & watching their passion for the play transform their lives in prison into something more meaningful for the 6 months of rehearsal. in parallel, there’s something unbelievably heartbreaking about the ending scenes of this movie, where the inmates are returned back to their cells and forced to face the reality of the rest of their life in prison. this film both humanizes inmates who otherwise might be reduced to the crimes on their record and shows the transformative power of art to enrich every individual’s life.
