Beyond Prison: Three Lives, One Hope
Beyond Prison: Three Lives, One Hope
Beyond prison bars and prejudice: three inmates seek redemption through work, study, and faith.

This documentary follows three inmates at Padua’s Due Palazzi prison as they navigate the difficult path of re-education and redemption. Guided by chaplain Don Marco Pozza, the film offers an intimate look inside the prison walls beyond the bars, beyond the doors, and beyond prejudice. Through work, study, and sport, facilitated by the institution in collaboration with local cooperatives, the prisoners confront their past mistakes and strive to rebuild their lives. The narrative weaves together the voices of the prisoners, prison staff, and the director.

A story of despair and renewal, it highlights the rediscovery of humanity in those who face the pain they have caused—to victims, families, and themselves—and the possibility of a future beyond the prison walls.
