- Summary:
- Chesa Boudin was only 14 months old when his parents, former Weather Underground activists, were arrested for their role in a fatal robbery. Beyond Bars follows his profound journey. Witness the impact of parental incarceration through Chesa's eyes as he navigates a broken system and grapples with his identity. With searing honesty, the film traces Chesa's path from childhood struggles to becoming a voice for the children of the incarcerated and a trailblazing District Attorney fighting for reform. Intimate interviews and rare archival footage offer an unflinching look at the human toll of incarceration and the power of resilience. Through Chesa's battle for his parents' freedom and his efforts to transform the carceral system, Beyond Bars is a testament to the unbreakable bonds of family and the intergenerational fight for equality and restorative justice.
