The Return (2016)

Directed by Kelly Duane de la Vega, Katie Galloway

“Everyo̶n̶e̶ Nation Deserves A Chance At Redemption”

Documentary · 1h 24m

In 2012, California voters approved Proposition 36, effectively repealing the state's notoriously harsh three-strikes law that had sentenced thousands of nonviolent offenders to a lifetime behind bars. But what does it mean to be released from prison after being sentenced to life? How does one begin to reintegrate into society? The Return depicts the struggles of two newly released former lifers as they deal with restoring relationships, avoiding personal triggers, finding meaningful employment, and managing the mental health problems which had previously contributed to their imprisonment.
