The 50

Just Announced! Director Brenton Gieser will join us for a Q&A after the screening on February 27 and May 12!

Recommended for Grades 9-12

Against the backdrop of prison overcrowding and widespread drug use, The 50 documents the unprecedented journey of 50 men who challenged society’s expectations of them to become certified substance abuse counselors while incarcerated.

“We are experts in the field when it comes to loneliness, hurt, and pain. If we had the right support, if we had the right love and acknowledgment, if we had the right education and therapy, we could ultimately become the greatest healers of our society.” – Cameron Clark, Member of The 50

Consider this documentary film if you are exploring the topics of prison reform, substance rehabilitation, or humanitarian issues.
