Free Motherhood - The impact of incarceration on early childhood
25m
In a Brazilian prison, the lives of five incarcerated mothers intertwine as they navigate the heart-wrenching reality of being separated from their babies. Currently, 63% of women in prison in the country are black and only 34% of them have completed primary school. The vast majority, 64%, are convicted of trafficking, a crime without victims and without violence. On the other side of punishment, we have the children who need their mothers for their full development, especially in early childhood. The film shows that securing the relationship between mothers and their children is always the best decision.
