This is not that film. It's an intimate, small-scale portrait of how a profoundly unintelligent policy impacted one family.

The subject is inherently engrossing, but a better documentary could (and probably will) be made about it.

Poignant docu about mandatory minimum imprisonment.

Rating: C --
The filmmaking quite rightly plays second fiddle through many of the more climactic sequences, but unfortunately for an audience that doesn't exactly make for great viewing.

We know that the camera isn't being held by a stranger but a beloved uncle, which imbues each exchange with not only affection but also an irreproducible immediacy.

Rating: 4/5 --
At some point during the documentary, the story of a family tragedy begins to find its activism tone, and Rudy's work to document Cindy's life... begins to be drawn as a universal story, which can change lives. [Full review in Spanish]

Product Description:
Director Rudy Valdez's personal documentary shares the story of his sister Cindy Shank, a mother of three young girls who was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for conspiracy charges related to her late ex-boyfriend's drug distribution activities. By foregrounding the devastating effect that Shank's incarceration has exacted on her family, it advocates for reform of the mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines.
