Music from the Big House

In Louisiana's Angola Prison, the blues serves as a source of solace and artistic expression for inmates, who unite to produce moving musical performances.

Award-winning recording artist Rita takes a pilgrimage to the birthplace of the blues, Louisiana State Maximum Security Penitentiary, where she collaborates with inmates serving life sentences in a jailhouse performance. Despite their harsh circumstances, music gives them hope and an escape, guiding them on a journey of forgiveness.
