Description

Radical civil rights attorney, Larry Krasner, leads a band of activists who set out to end mass incarceration by taking over the agency at its center: the district attorney's office. Embedded behind closed doors, the film watches an unprecedented criminal justice experiment unfold and asks, can outsiders reform a system from within?
