“Just because your child makes a mistake, doesn’t mean you stop loving them…” -Ivey Walton, FREE! Steering Committee Member

The Visitors
Melis Birder
64 minutes

the visitors is a documentary about people from New York City with family and loved ones in prison, who - regardless of weather, health or other conditions, climb aboard buses every weekend for a visit.

Reflecting the struggles of a unique culture living at the intersection of confinement and the free world, the story follows the coordinator of the bus -Denise- whose husband is coming home soon after 17 years of imprisonment.

What makes women and men subject themselves and their children to harassment, abuse, discomfort and expense week after week, year after year to spend a few hours with an incarcerated loved one? Hear from a live a panel of prisoner family members – Monday!
