“#CollegeBehindBarsPBS is perhaps one of the best documentaries that I’ve seen about criminal justice in the past 5 years. I thought it was incredibly well done in all ways. It premieres on Monday 9/8. 2 parts. 4 hours.”
“Had the privilege to finally watch #CollegeBeyondBars and just wow. We must continue to show the intelligence that is trapped behind walls. Imagine a world where adequate education is possible for all before people get tangled up in the cj system.”
“Watching College Behind Bars with my final year students to inspire them to do more in their quest for education. The film has left them very attentive and in tears. Great documentary @LynnNovick@KenBurns @sbotstein”
“I teach people sentenced to death in #prison as teens. No one loves #books more than people in prison. You’ll know what I mean within the 1st five minutes of Ken Burn’s inspiring, engaging documentary #Collegebehindbars.”
" ‘College Behind Bars’ is beautifully executed. It is engaging, masterfully shot, and hopeful. Also they have us get to know the people they follow before we learn of their crimes. They are not their mistakes. Watch this immediately. “
“#CollegeBehindBars is one of the most beautiful displays I have ever seen of the transformative power of education. Truly inspired by and the men and women that dedicate themselves so fully to its programs.”
“This series demonstrates not only growth, perseverance, and compassion, but also the transformative power of education. We must honor all of our students and meet them where they are/end.”
