"The Quilters"
A brief (33 minute) documentary about men in a maximum security prison making quilts for foster and autistic children. Absolutely worth watching. Currently available on Netflix, but not in our library system.
Fred. He reminds me of the monks down the road at the Trappist monastery. (Lots of parallels between prison and monastic life. Ironic given what leads men to their respective places.) It's very painful to think of him excluded from the sewing shop. What a world.
I watched this yesterday. Touching, and perspective-widening.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Thank you.
