About the Screening
An HBO Documentary Films release
Includes a post-film conversation with Director Kristi Jacobson hosted by Claudia Puig, President of Los Angeles Film Critics Association and movie critic on KPCC’s Film Week.
Described in Variety as "Refusing to shy away from harsh truths, [and] offering a complicated portrait of 21st-century crime and punishment," SOLITARY is a daring exploration of the lives of inmates and corrections officers in one of America's most notorious supermax prisons, built to hold inmates in 8x10 cells, 23-hours-a-day, for months, years and sometimes decades. With unprecedented access, the filmmakers artfully crafted a film that captures a complex, unexpected, and deeply moving portrait of life inside.
