Starring Jesse Krimes, Russell Craig, Jared Owens, Gilberto Rivera

While serving time for drug charges, Philly artist Jesse Krimes produces work in secret, made with the materials available (hair gel, soap, bed sheets) and smuggled out of the prison. Embraced by the art world upon his release, yet struggling to adjust to life on the outside, Jesse joins forces with painter Russell Craig to help other formerly incarcerated artists. This documentary is an eye-opening tale of confinement, freedom, and the redemptive power of creativity.
