Description

The documentary ’Survivor’s Guide To Prison’ features two former California inmates (Bruce Lisker and Reggie Cole) who were accused of crimes they didn't commit.

Audiences get a harrowing look at how barbaric the US justice system works - today you're more likely to go to prison in the United States than anywhere else in the world. The film ultimately asks how we can survive the prison model at all, and looks at better solutions for conflict resolution, harm reduction, crime and more.

In this interview, filmmaker Matthew Cooke discusses the difference between artists and entertainers, how he collaborated with artists like Danny Trejo, RZA, Ice T, and Susan Sarandon, and the importance of compassion for our whole human family.
