The most important, well-made documentary you'll likely watch this year

As an example of documentary film making, 'The Alabama Solution' is a top-notch effort, containing excellent first-hand accounts and well-researched material, culminating in a cogent narrative allowing the viewer to draw their own conclusions. An expose of the American penal system within the eponymous state, its devastating portrayal of the frequently discompassionate, hypocritical actions of the Alabama government (and the squalid, violent, sorely ineffectual penal institutions they operate) will leave your jaw agape. BE WARNED: This is not an easy watch, as several authentic, unredacted documents and images depicting powerful beatings and disgusting living conditions abound. Still, it's a necessary watch for anyone hoping to garner a better understanding of such institutions and just how far short of the mark our well-intentioned (if ignorant) leaders fall, even with an ostensibly moral mandate and billions of dollars at their disposal.In short, this is a harsh, gut-wrenching look at the atrocities within the American prison system, one that serious documentary aficionados will find edifying and satisfying essential viewing. Watch and be painfully enlightened.

As humans, regardless of race, sex and beliefs, this is a conversation that needs to be talked about

Well I was expecting a generic behind the scenes look at the prisoner system, this documentary was not that.Honestly it's been a minute since I had a documentary mentally and emotionally disturb me. This piece of filmmaking, harsh and honest shares a unfiltered look at the disgusting scene's the world doesn't want you to see behind prison walls.Politically, whatever side of the fence you are on if this documentary doesn't touch your heart then systemically theirs something wrong with all of us. I'm British, and arguably, and I hope I'm not being aloof but our prison systems are nothing like this. Sure as hell they ain't perfect. I've actually always felt in a way that prisons got it easy. I've wondered how criminals can go in, and come out worse, I thought well maybe it's not strict enough. I've heard of men and women going in jails and coming out drug addicted. I never understood how with all the technology we got, people still get hold of phones in prisons.I have had somewhat right wing ideas about prison, I don't think violent prisoners should just allowed to form friendships with other ultra violent offenders. It's ment to be a punishment.But I do also understand a lot of these men and women will one day be released, and I for one respect any man who can get released and make a better life for himself. So rehabilitation is ultimately important, but clearly wether it's America or great Britain prisons, rehabilitation is the last thing the government truly care about. It's always been about making money.Just as a human, and hopefully a good man, I don't want to see prison officers beating to death unarmed men. If six of these guys can't control one man, then what the hell are they trained to do? In what world should a prison officer who has beaten a man to death have the opportunity to get promoted, twice?The prisoners, and let me honest here, I don't believe for a second that every prisoner went on strike peacefully, but hell of a lot did, and they wanted answers to questions that needed to be asked, and the governments response? Starve them out.And we wonder why people come out worse?I've always had my doubts about how prisons are run, and I've always had doubts that the punishment fits the crime, and honestly I've had doubts that sometimes the prison systems can be to lenient to certain criminals. But as a man, if we can justify beating men to death or starving them to death, then as a society we are broken.Im not a religious guy so I ain't going to lie and say I'll pray something changes, but I hope there's enough good people out there that can work together and fix this broken system. Surely we are better than this, id rather bring people up than kick them down.Very touching documentary. Very important. At times unsettling and disturbing. Will play on my mind for a long time.
