Plot
French visual artist-director JR situates his latest social-art intervention in a Southern Californian supermax prison, where he has imagined an enormously ambitious collaboration with the facility’s inmates.
Sinekatalog’s take
A documentary on an artist's ambitious collaboration with inmates in a supermax prison. Visually striking and humane, it asks what art can do inside walls, for those interested in social-art projects.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
