Synopsis:
Set inside a single room in Folsom Prison, 'The Work' follows three men from outside as they participate in a four-day group therapy retreat with level-four convicts. Over the four days, each man in the room takes his turn at delving deep into his past. The raw and revealing process that the incarcerated men undertake exceeds the expectations of the free men, ripping them out of their comfort zones and forcing them to see themselves and the prisoners in unexpected ways. 'The Work' offers a powerful and rare look past the cinder block walls, steel doors and the dehumanising tropes in our culture to reveal a movement of change and redemption that transcends what we think of as rehabilitation.

Amazing - The Work review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
01/09/2020

Extremely intense and effective film making. These people are truly heroic, the people brave enough to take part, under the most extreme pressure, and the men compassionate enough to pass on their transformation . I felt shaken and shocked but in the best possible way . Breath-taking honesty and Realness.
