The Prison in Twelve Landscapes is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Brett Story and released in 2016.[1] Consisting of twelve short vignettes, the film explores the social impact of the prison–industrial complex in the United States through various angles, including a former industrial town in Kentucky which is now dependent on a federal penitentiary for local employment, a community park which was constructed solely to prevent registered sex offenders from being able to move into the local halfway house, and a man who runs a business selling items to family members of prisoners for inclusion in care packages.[2]
The film premiered at the True/False Film Festival in March 2016,[3] and had its Canadian premiere at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in May.[1]
