Synopsis by Augustine Chay
Director Rudy Valdez’s personal documentary shares the story of his sister Cindy Shank, a mother of three young girls who was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for conspiracy charges related to her late ex-boyfriend’s drug distribution activities. By foregrounding the devastating effect that Shank’s incarceration has exacted on her family, it advocates for reform of the mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines.
