Dreaming of a Space To Heal After Incarceration | PBS Short Docs

Official Website: https://to.pbs.org/3lHBB3f | #IndieLensPBS
Through a collaborative writing process with filmmakers, three women bring to life “The Command Center to Bring Women Home,” an imagined space run by formerly incarcerated women for those with nowhere else to turn but to each other, a place where mothers can reunite and heal with their children, and women are able to hold and comfort one another.
