From Pen To Paper

Directed by: Paul Sutton and Lori Sutton

Run Time:28 minutes 18 seconds, United States

Premiere status: Arizona Premiere

Twenty-four prisoners--mostly lifers--sat across from a dozen college students on a maximum security Pr*son yard in southern California as part of an innovative and inspiring creative writing program. For 14 weeks, prisoners learned to express themselves openly and honestly, many for the first time in their lives, to a group of strangers, in a setting where survival often demands alienation, disaffection, even violence. And the students--at first apprehensive, even hateful--discovered that the men across from them were far from the callous and unfeeling monsters they had expected to meet. Though their often intimate collaboration, both groups found hope and humanity in a place where they had expected neither.

TAGLINE: Behind bars, ink flows and barriers crumble as lifers and students unite in a transformative writing experiment.

Interweaving the rhythms of daily life on the ranch and wild horses on the range, "Beyond the Herd" tells the story of Mexican-American equestrians Amber and Isidro.

As resources dwindle for wild horses, their bond becomes a symbol of resilience, transforming once-wild mustangs into lifelong companions.
