BLINDSPOTTING was our premiere film for Cool Hand Series. Words can't express what this meant to us and the men at Chino. The movie is phenomenal. Funny, heartbreaking, honest, eyeopening and completely one of a kind in its art. Rafael and Daveed, thank you for making the effort, the trip, and spending hours with the men. People laughed, cried and were seen. It was really special to witness. The power of the arts was unquestionably present in the room that day. Can't imagine starting this program any other way. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone involved, especially the "C" Facility Population. Respectfully, Cool Hand Series #blindspotting #coolhandseries #prisonabolition
