This film tells the complex story of men in prison victims of crime and an artistic partnership that helps break down barriers between them As prisoners victims and victim advocates collaborate on a mural about healing from crime their views on punishment remorse and forgiveness collide sometimes harshly But as the project progresses mistrust begins to give way to surprising moments of human contact and common purpose The project challenges each side to recognize and respect the others essential humanity and worth a small but significant step toward a more healing and restorative form of justice
