“Gleason, Lesiak and Levitt wanted their mark as filmmakers to be unnoticeable: collaborating with incarcerated people, whose participation was voluntary, to give the women in the community an opportunity to speak for themselves about their individual and collective experiences. As a result, production history of the film remained largely unknown until the last decade, when requests for the film started filtering into the Archive, which has since digitally remastered it”.
