A film by Eddie Ellis
A father and mentor, Eddie, shares his personal journey after being incarcerated as a child and invites impacted community leaders into a conversation about the types of support needed for people rebuilding their lives after release.
The United States is the only country that imposes life-without-parole sentences on minors, disproportionately affecting youth of color and reflecting systemic biases in the justice system. This harsh treatment disregards adolescent development research, which shows that children’s brains and characters are still forming and that they are uniquely capable of rehabilitation.
Despite disproven fears of a juvenile crime wave in the 1990s, policies such as trying children as adults and imposing mandatory minimums have led to extreme and unequal sentencing, with African American youth being particularly impacted.
