A Debtors' Prison
A Debtors' Prison is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 2018, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
In St. Louis County, the home of police-shooting victim Michael Brown, a practice with a long history has become systematic: the operation of modern-day debtors’ prisons. A Debtors' Prison follows two plaintiffs in an unfolding court case, Samantha Jenkins and Meredith Walker, as they describe the matrix of controls that subjected them to incarceration for being poor.
