About Inmates with Talent

Documentary

Synopsis

In 2008, two comedians had a wild idea - so wild, it landed them in prison. Their mission? To bring a talent contest to the incarcerated, giving them a stage and a mic to express themselves. Filmed over 14 years, to show where the participants are now, attitudes, perceptions, and even the language around incarceration has evolved. This is the story of an improbable journey - and the unexpected impact of comedy, creativity, and second chances behind bars. Imagine "Borat" meets "America's Got Talent” behind bars, giving people a second chance at life.
