HBO Original Documentary THE ALABAMA SOLUTION Debuts October 10
Incarcerated Men Defy The Odds To Expose A Cover-up
The Documentary, From Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman, Had Its World Premiere At The Sundance Film Festival
· The HBO Original documentary THE ALABAMA SOLUTION, directed and produced by Emmy(R)-winning filmmaker Andrew Jarecki (HBO's "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst" Parts One and Two and Oscar(R) nominated "Capturing the Friedmans") and Charlotte Kaufman (producer of HBO's "The Jinx: Part Two"), debuts FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. The film had its world premiere to critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival.
· Synopsis: 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 and being kept secret. This sparks an immersive six-year investigation to discover the reality behind the walls of one of the nation's deadliest prison systems.
Through unprecedented direct access and video shot on contraband cell phones, the filmmakers learn from the men inside 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.
· Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents THE ALABAMA SOLUTION. Directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman; co-produced by Alelur "Alex" Duran, Page Marsella, and Beth Shelburne. For HBO: executive producers, Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller, and Sara Rodriguez.
