Since I Been Down

Tells the dramatic story of how an American community held captive by 1990’s punitive policies lead children into gangs, violence and drugs. For a false sense of safety, security and prosperity, this community rushed to discard the poorest, targeted brown and black youth into prisons for life.

My take

A searing examination of how 1990s criminal justice policies dismantled communities and funneled vulnerable youth into incarceration. This is heavy, urgent documentary filmmaking that demands your full attention and leaves you grappling with systemic injustice.
