THE STRIKE

A gripping story shedding light on a world and recent historical moment still not widely known, THE STRIKE explores a generation of California men as they endure decades of solitary confinement and, against all odds, launch the largest hunger strike in U.S. history. Told through intimate interviews and archival verite footage, the film goes beyond making a case against solitary confinement by illuminating the power of organizing this prisoner-led resistance, and in doing so, flipping the true-crime genre on its head.
