Inside/Outside (2019, 94 minutes) is a documentary film about women and mass incarceration in the United States as they struggle with the challenges of sexual assault, substance abuse and often, motherhood. Seen through the lens of a county jail in a rapidly-gentrifying town in the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania, this film explores challenges the women face inside and outside jail. Inside/Outside addresses the hard and cold facts of the prison industrial complex experienced through a microcosm of local stories that affect families and communities.
