The Pathfinder Network is proud to present Impacts of Incarceration in collaboration with filmmaker Andy Langdon of Good Pictures and producer and POPS the Club founder Amy Friedman.
With this video library, our participants and partners offer their wisdom and guidance, with the goal of eliminating the shame and stigma connected to mass incarceration.
The library features interviews covering 10 key topics. Interviewees include individuals who grew up with an incarcerated loved one, those who have been incarcerated, and those working with individuals and families impacted by incarceration. It is available, free of charge, to anyone seeking support, connection, guidance, and wisdom.
This project was made possible thanks to the generous support of Madge Woods.
