The Work

Set entirely inside Folsom State Prison, "The Work" follows three men during four days of intensive group therapy with convicts, revealing an intimate and powerful portrait of authentic human transformation that transcends what we think of as rehabilitation.

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at SXSW, The work presents prison, violence, masculinity, and vulnerability in an unprecedented way. The intimate cinematic lens through which Jairus and Gethin share the inmates’ stories provide for a riveting, thought-provoking and incredibly emotional documentary.
