Explore the transformative power of education through the eyes of a dozen incarcerated men and women trying to earn college degrees – and a chance at redemption – from one of the country’s most rigorous prison education programs. The four-hour series is directed and produced by Peabody-Award winning filmmaker Lynn Novick, produced by Sarah Botstein, and executive produced by Ken Burns.
College Behind Bars is supported locally by the Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis.
