It’s Criminal is a potent critique of the economic and social inequities that divide the United States. Shot in an intimate vérité style, the film explores the life-changing experiences of incarcerated women and Dartmouth College students working together to write and perform an original play about the lives of the imprisoned women. It delves into privilege, poverty and injustice and asks viewers to think about who is in prison and why. While exploring disparities, the movie also shares poignant, personal stories about how empathy is a powerful force that can help bridge the divide. ~AB
