About the Project

In a climate of increasing crime and high recidivism, an organization chooses a unique path of transformation through arts and theater.

This is the story of four formerly incarcerated souls turned actors, their travails, their indomitable courage, and their triumphant return to their lives.

Broadway, Bars, and Fortune is a documentary on courage, hope, and arts entwined in an encircling embrace of human bondage. A reminder that formal acceptance and adoption of such measures during the period of incarceration can be life changing and often lifesaving.
