The third film by Ashley Hunt, in which he explores today’s abolition movement through the lens of closed and closing prisons.  Following campaigns to shrink prison systems, this film tells its story against the backdrop of climate forces that are changing our world.

Can our discussion of the film serve as a catalyst for mobilization—helping us co-imagine what revolution feels like and how it might expand beyond our immediate circles?
