During spring of 2003,
me and a friend from school made a short film about four lifers at the Stony Mountain penitentiary, Winnipeg Canada.
Douglas Brown has just started his 24 year long sentence while Bryan LeBlanc, Dennis Malcom and Jamie Perlett has served a few years. They all tell their stories and versions of life in prison. Meera Bahadosing interviewed and I ran the camera.
The film is a school project and really the first film I made.
Sound and quality is what it is, but if you've ever felt that you have problems in your life, maybe they can be reduced and turned to gratitude after you experience what other people go through in life.
My personal gratitude goes out to these four incredible souls who opened their hearts to us and shared their most private thoughts.
I look back at my years since then, and see that no matter what I've been through I've always been free.
Value and treasure your freedom and spread love always.

--------------------------- Svensk beskrivning ---------------------------
Under våren 2003 träffade jag fyra livstidsfångar i fängelset Stony Mountain, utanför Winnipeg i Kanada.
Douglas Brown har precis börjat sitt 24 åriga straff. Bryan LeBlanc, Dennis Malcom och Jamie Perlett har suttit flera år och alla berättar sina versioner av livet i fängelse. Meera Bahadosing intervjuade och jag skötte kamera.
Filmen är ett skolprojekt och eg. min första riktiga filminspelning.
Ljud och bild är därefter, men har du någon gång tyckt att du har problem i livet,
så kan de kanske reduceras drastiskt och kanske kan tacksamhet uppstå genom att sätta dig in i hur det är att ha din frihet kvar i livet.
