ON THE RED ROAD: A WALK ON THE OUTSIDE
This documentary focuses on four men
from the Native Brotherhood as they make their way to the outside from a federal
prison on Vancouver Island,
B.C. We experience the transition these men live, from prison, to a halfway
house, to full parole. We follow the ups and downs of readjusting to wife/child
relationships as well as social responsibilities, many of which we often take
for granted. This transition from inside a prison to living on the outside
is paralleled by the carving of the Hamasta mask
by one of the men from the Brotherhood. The mask “consumes negative energy”
and is used in dance.
This ‘sequel’ goes hand-in-hand with
the program ‘Within The Walls: A
Story Of Healing’.
