| Summary: | This follow-up to the 1998 Oscar nominated doc "The Farm: Angola USA" tells the only story that couldn't be included in the original Angola documentary. Every Sunday in October, the Louisiana State Penitentiary hosts one of America's most unusual events. Amateur inmate cowboys risk their lives to participate in this dangerous sport in front of five thousand cheering locals. Is this modern-day Roman Circus, or the one time in the year that these convicts have the chance to prove their courage? Directed by Simeon Soffer, and produced by Soffer and Gabriel Films' Jonathan Stack (producer and director of "The Farm"). |
