Doin' Life

VHS, 60 min., 1982

One of the most intriguing, controversial documentaries ever filmed about prison life. Exclusive footage of interviews inside the cells of five prisoners doing life in a Texas prison are presented. The inmates describe their incarceration and rehabilitation, recount the incidentals of their crimes, and plead for parole. Interviews with remaining family members of their victims contrast the inmates' testimonies with their personal pain at the loss of their kin.
