As a Returning Citizen myself, I was glad to see that this movie existed. The struggles that are portrayed in this film are very real. I think it's important that we have conversations about topics that concern us all - Prisoner Re-entry is one of them. It's a sad reality that for many, they will only be judged by the worst thing they have ever done.
I work for an organization that tries to create a stigma-free community. We were able to view this movie at our Free Dinner and Movie evening. I think it opened the eyes of many in our community and started a much needed conversation.
