Reviews
Matthew Cooke's assaultive documentary hammers away at injustices in U.S. justice system.Joe Leydon, Variety
Survivors Guide to Prison has changed the way I view the American justice system. There's not enough room in any review to account for all of it's essential information. It is a testament to how the 1% rule our world at the expense of everyone else.Amyana Bartley, Film Inquiry
