"A world without prisons" - that is the revolutionary goal of Trust, a rehabilitation program in North Rhine-Westphalia. The program manager Petra Schach promises released prisoners work, housing, therapy and a life in freedom! "A Better Place" tells the story of a city without prison from multiple perspectives.
Dystopia or the turning point towards a better world?!?
The series shows many aspects that concern me and us when it comes to the topic of restorative justice and the penal system. I watched the first three parts of the series in the cinema and was then able to have a long discussion with one of the directors. I am impressed by how much intensive preparation all the actors put into this series (you can tell!) and I warmly recommend it.
