“Beautiful, very beautiful. Mixed emotions while watching: happy, sad, anger, hope, and fear. The women’s stories reminded me of my clients’ stories. I never realized how an object like shoes can have so many meanings. This film sheds light on how we often overlook the ‘shoes’—the life course and development—of offenders. It humanizes inmates, showing their vulnerability and the situational nature of their crimes. We all wear shoes, and they all have a story to tell: love, tragedy, trauma, hope, fears, pain, and redemption.” –James Scollione, Ph.D. Professor of Criminology, Drury University
