"You gotta speak your truth, that's what's gunna free you." Lightyear Ent. has debuted an official trailer for an indie documentary titled 16 Bars, the latest from filmmaker Sam Bathrick. The film is about a prison music program to help prisoners find a better outlet for their anger. Inmates in a Virginia jail attempt to transcend the cycle of recidivism through an artistic collaboration behind bars with the Grammy-winning hip hop artist Todd "Speech" Thomas. "As the creative process unfolds, these incarcerated artists must confront the traumas of their past, and music becomes the key to unlocking a new chapter in their lives." There are a number of good prison program films, including the doc 45 Seconds of Laughter and the film The Mustang, so this isn't anything new. But it is a bit of a different angle (music) we haven't seen too often. ›››
