Experiencing Interruptions?

American Made

Edwards and Perez are book-binders at a U.S. correctional facility. As Edwards tries to convince Perez to join him on a strike against extremely low wages, Perez is faced with the dilemma of delivering the news to his distraught mate that he has been offered a promising position. New revelations are made as they talk about the injustices of the prison system that perpetuate modern day slavery.

Director Statement

“We must the injustices we continue to witness in our prison systems. I’m so honored to be able to shine some light on this through our work on this project. Free labor is slavery. “Cheap” labor betrays the spirit of our Emancipation Proclamation. While I continue to be appalled by the ways we treat prisoners, to me this is ultimately about exposing American Capitalism for what it is. Our economic system continues to be at odds with our Civil rights, making the rich richer and building on the backs of free and/or “cheap” labor.”
