Nearly twenty years ago, documentary filmmaker Jonathan Stack found himself in Angola prison making a film about a failed effort to keep one death row inmate alive. That film, THE FARM, went on earn the Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize, three Emmy Awards, and an Academy Award nomination. Jonathan has since returned to Angola often, as part of his commitment to keep telling the stories of those who live behind bars in one of the oldest prisons in America. Once a slave plantation, Angola today houses 6000 men, serving sentences so long that 95% of them die there.
As part of The Brooklyn Cottage’s monthlong meditation on Death, it is our great privilege to invite you to join Jonathan in our living room next Friday evening for stories and discussion about his two decades chronicling the changing lives of Angola’s death row prisoners. We will also screen his latest in-progress documentary film.
