Genre:
Documentary
Synopsis:
In the last ten years, the
number of youth serving time in adult prisons has tripled.
Through the highly personal stories of 12 kids being tried
as adults—and by tracing their lives over a four-year
period—“Juvies” explores the impact
of America’s failing juvenile justice system. In
so doing, it forces us to question the underlying themes
of American culture that breed violence and result, all
too often, in the demonization of our youth. |
