About
the project:
The Land of the Free punishes or imprisons more of its citizens than any other
country. This collection of testimonials from criminal offenders, family
members, and experts on America’s criminal justice system puts a human face on
the millions of Americans subjugated by the US Government's 40 year, one
trillion dollar social catastrophe: The War on Drugs; a failed policy
underscored by fear, politics, racial prejudice and intolerance in a public
atmosphere of "out of sight, out of mind."
The United States has only 5% of the world's population, yet a full 25% of the
world's prisoners. At 2.5 million, the US has more prisoners than China. 8
million more languish under some form of state monitoring (1 in every 31
Americans). On top of that, the security and livelihood of over 13 million more
has forever been altered by a felony conviction. The American use of punishment
is so pervasive and so disproportionate that The Economist magazine declared in 2010, "Never in the
civilized world have so many been locked up for so little."
The Exile Nation
Project is
not just one film - it’s an online archive of interviews, short films, and
other features that will grow over the next two years. Our foundation grant got
us off the ground and helped us make the first film, but we need to raise $7,000 by the end of May so that we can hold
screenings in cities and Universities across the U.S. this year, as well as
allow us to continue the process of collecting the testimonies that are the heart
and soul of the Exile Nation Project.
Please
make a donation to our Kickstarter campaign:
http://kck.st/dVKDLD
Every
little bit helps get the word out to more people.
When
the stories hit home, people get involved, and policy can finally begin to
change. It is our greatest hope that once these voices find a broader audience,
people of the US will feel compelled to pressure the government to change these
unfair policies and end the era of prohibition and mass incarceration.
