I’m quite partial to a good documentary, especially ones shining a light on injustice. Documentary+crime+prisons+injustice+Samuel L Jackson’s narration = I’m checking this out! Looks like powerful stuff, check out the trailer below.

In the Land of the Free… Is a documentary feature that examines the story of Herman Wallace, Albert Woodfox and Robert King. They are known as the Angola 3 and have spent almost a century between them in solitary confinement in Angola, the Louisiana state penitentiary. Herman and Albert are still held in solitary confinement after thirty seven  years.  How could this be?  In America.  Today.

The film is directed by Vadim Jean (Leon The Pig Farmer, Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather) produced by the mob film company (Terry Pratchett’s Colour Of Magic, Stone Of Destiny) Gold Circle Films (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, White Noise, A Haunting In Connecticut) and UKTV’S Yesterday Films and is narrated by Samuel L Jackson.
