Kerry Washington: Rewriting Justice Thro...

LEMONADA MEDIA
About this episode

What happens when an award-winning actress, producer, director, author, and activist uses her platform to shine a light on the criminal justice system? Kerry Washington's recent projects, UnPrisoned and Daughters, tell stories of incarceration, family separation, unification, and love that we rarely get to see. In our conversation, she explains how portraying a daughter navigating her father's return from prison transformed her understanding of reentry and gets personal about how the system has impacted her own family.

You can check out Unprisoned on Hulu and stream Daughters on Netflix.
