Solitary

Solitary (2019) chronicles the harrowing experience of an African American man who endured systemic cruelty within Louisiana's criminal justice system. Albert Woodfox cycled through incarceration during his youth before being wrongfully convicted of murdering a prison guard, a charge that appears to stem from his Black Panther activism. He endured more than four decades confined to a six-by-nine-foot cell for 23 hours daily, subjected to dehumanizing conditions within what he describes as an inherently racist and merciless system.
