I MET THE INMATES WHO MIGHT NEVER WALK FREE

Details

synopsis

This investigative documentary goes inside a maximum-security U.S. jail in Weld County, granting rare access to inmates facing murder charges as they wait to find out if they will walk free or disappear for decades.

Ben Zand steps behind bars with unprecedented clearance to move from minimum to maximum security, sitting down with men living in the ultimate state of limbo. From the weight of taking a life to navigating a violent hierarchy, the film asks what happens to the human mind when everything is on the line.
