The 50

The Offender Mentor Certificate Program--a first of its kind--takes its participants through a 'parallel process', one that helps participants develop professional skills and become counselors while also asking them to take an inward look at the pain they have both experienced and caused. Following Cameron, Al, and Randy--all members of the program--The 50 mirrors this process, weaving the past and present with impressionistic re-enactments of each member's past, present-day studies, and overarching explorations of how their stories challenge society's expectations for them. Character-driven storytelling and surreal visual metaphor move viewers to re-evaluate their perceptions and to seriously contend with their own cycles of hurt and healing.
