Synopsis:
In 1997, Jonathan Stack spent a year shooting inside Angola Prison, Louisiana’s maximum security penitentiary, capturing the reality of six men living - and dying, in America’s largest and oldest penal institution. By revealing a powerful and universal truth: to err is human and to forgive, divine, "The Farm" spoke to an enormous and receptive audience and garnered many of cinema’s top awards, including the Sundance Grand Jury Prize, the LA Film Critic’s Award, the New York Film Critic’s Award, an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary, two Emmys and four Emmy nominations. When it was broadcast on A&E, it attracted the largest audience for a documentary in the network’s history. Now, ten years later, we go back inside Angola to reconnect with our characters and to witness first-hand, time’s impact on their spirits, their bodies, their sense of hope and their sense of purpose. Have the family members who visited them ten years ago disappeared in time from their lives? Does their language change as men become increasingly hardened by time? Do memories of freedom and life on the outside fade with the hope of freedom? Time moves slowly in Angola, but hope survives.
