Summary:

While the Brazilian government's response to overcrowding and violence in its prison system has been to increase production of prisons nationally, this documentary shows how the integrated therapies used in some Brazilian prisons can benefit inmate rehabilitation and resocialization by following a gentle, non-dogmatic approach. The documentary shows how art therapy, family consultation and other techniques work in tandem to value the subjectivity and spirituality of inmates, with the goal of breaking down the toxic masculinity that prison life nurtures. The film itself is intimate yet hands-off in its approach. It presents both a micro and macro look at a broken system and, over time, the effectiveness of these programs
