Raised in a world of drugs, violence, and trauma, three males went to prison before becoming adults—with sentences that could have kept them there for life. A new film, which chronicles their stories after being granted parole, was shown June 25 at Root & Rebound in Oakland. Director Tamara Perkins and some of the men in her film were on hand to speak.
