As communities search for more effective ways to support people returning home from prison, one unexpected solution is taking center stage — literally. Theater programs are emerging as powerful tools for restoring confidence and helping the formerly incarcerated reconnect with society. That transformative potential is the focus of Broadway, Bars, and Fortune, an award-winning 40-minute documentary from director and producer Shuvendu Sen. "Broadway has become an emotional point of rehabilitation" says Sen. "This film shows how theater both inside and outside prison walls, can serve as a powerful healing tool— one that reduces trauma, crime and recidivism" The film chronicles the work of The Fortune Society, one of the nation's most respected reentry organizations, and the life-changing impact of its theater programs, where storytelling becomes a pathway to healing, empathy and employment. Sen has been featured on CNN, PBS, CBS and many other media outlets.
