"Missing my daughters grow up - that's what I was sentenced to." HBO has debuted the official trailer for a documentary titled The Sentence, which won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It's a very big win for this film: a powerful, emotional, personal look at the life of a woman sentence to 15 year's in prison for her deceased ex-boyfriend's crimes. The title – The Sentence – is a reference to the mandatory minimum 15 year federal prison sentence she received for her tangential involvement with a Michigan drug ring years earlier. The film follows the story of Cindy Shank's family, and her three young children, who patiently wait for their mother to finally be released. "This intimate portrait of mandatory minimum drug sentencing's devastating consequences, captured by Cindy's brother, follows her and her family over the course of ten years." There's a good reason it won the Audience Award this year. ›››
