The Actor's Gang on the Outside
4 Extra Debut. Tim Robbins hears from graduates of an innovative theatre programme who are now facing life on the outside. From 2016.
We followed actor Tim Robbins' work with prisoners on the inside of LA's tough prison system in THE ACTOR'S GANG .
Three of the actors who we heard in the first documentary have now been released.
Rajesh Mirchandani catches up with them to hear their stories.
Has taking part in the The Actor's Gang Prison Project helped them turn their lives around?
Has the acting course had any long term effects on helping with their rehabilitation and adapting to life outside prison?
This promises to be a compellingly gritty portrait of crime, second chances and the power of drama.
Produced in Edinburgh by Kate Bissell.
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in March 2016.
