Going Back (De Volta)

Brazillian Prisoners Experience Four Days of Freedom

Four days of freedom. The greatest gift a prisoner can receive, and the greatest challenge.

GOING BACK follows four Brazilian convicts serving hard time who are granted temporary leave from prison during Christmas, 2012. Leandro, Midian, Sonia and Anderson return to their homes to confront the ghosts of the past, present and future during this brief and transformational period.

The program is an innovative program developed by the Prison Ministry of Rio de Janeiro, where prisons are among the most violent in the world. As the four-day clock winds down, can the challenges of freedom lead to a more permanent state?
