"Shakespeare Behind Bars" is an unexpectedly delightful documentary that follows the casting, rehearsal, and presentation of Shakespeares play, The Tempest, by convicted felons inside Kentuckys Luther Luckett Correctional Complex. Winner of eight film festival awards, "Shakespeare Behind Bars" smashes many of our long held notions about prisoners and criminals as we watch these remarkably unique actors prepare. Ultimately, we get to see the human psyche unfold in all of its complexities, as thes
e men, ostracized from society, reveal their kindness, generosity and faith. In the process, we accompany them as they discover the power of truth, forgiveness and transformation. |
