FILM / Subculture Film Festival presents: Ask Her About The Art
Dir: Karim Dakkon / 60 min / 2023 / United States
As a sociological statement, Carol Strick collects prison art to show and sell at galleries; sending all profits back to the prisoners so they can buy food and art supplies. Ask Her About The Art is a vérité documentary that explores the obstacles prisoners face in order to create, the alternative lifestyle of the Strick family, and the insidious intentions of the prison industrial complex.
There will be a talk back with Director Karim Dakkon, Carol Strick, and Eddie Strick.
Space is limited; online registration required.
