*Oscar Shortlist - The Alabama Solution - Co-directors Andrew Jarecki & Charlotte Kaufman

In 2019, filmmakers visit an Alabama prison to film a revival meeting. Off camera, incarcerated men whisper a message: terrible things are going on here that are being kept secret from the public. This sparks an immersive 6-year investigation to discover the reality behind the walls of the nation's deadliest prison system. With unprecedented direct access, our guests, co-directors Andrew Jarecki (The Jinx (Parts One and Two), Capturing the Friedmans) and Charlotte Kaufman (The Jinx (Part Two) Hidden Alibi) learn from incarcerated men about a suspicious and violent death. The story unfolds in real time, revealing it isn't an isolated incident, and that the official version appears far from the truth. What follows is a shocking story of brutality, corruption, and a system in collapse. As the men fight for their own survival, they embark on a campaign of resistance, against all odds. The Alabama Solution opens in select New York and LA Theaters on 10/3 and streaming on HBO Max on 10/10.
