Last Frame Film Club presents: Land of the Free

Life is tough for most people living in South Los Angeles. Gun fights and drug crimes are commonplace in this neighborhood, and it’s hard to escape the vicious circle of poverty and crime. Land of the Free follows three ex-convicts and their loved ones, in the two years after their release from prison as they strive to find a new place in society.  An intimate portrait of humanity in a deeply troubling environment where the prison industrial system often targets and holds back people of color.  Camilla Magid explores the depths of the economically depressed district and its disadvantaged inhabitants, subjugated by an uncaring and sweltering prison system, and oppressed by the devastating, ever-present threat of gang violence.
