What happens when people from vastly different worlds come together to share deeply personal experiences? How do we navigate spaces where we’re confronted with extremes of human experience, such as violent crime and prison life? Can you relate to people like this? The answer to that last question might surprise you! What happens when therapy, vulnerability, and self-reflection collide in such an intense setting? Let's have a thought-provoking Watch & Talk hosted by El, a social worker with real-world experience working with prisoners, as we dive into The Work, a documentary set inside America's infamous Folsom Prison.

In this documentary, a group of men from the outside world participate in a four-day group therapy session with level-four convicts, who have committed violent crimes. We’ll watch selected scenes and reflect on how social and cultural conditioning shapes our understanding of conflict, rehabilitation, and human connection. Together, we’ll explore what happens when seemingly separate worlds meet and how these encounters challenge our assumptions, foster empathy, and perhaps lead to personal growth.

Let’s sit back with good friends in comfy chairs as we sip on stiff cocktails, eat tasty popcorn, and watch scenes from a ground-breaking film that challenges the way we see therapy, crime, and the human condition. And, of course, let's have a deep and intelligent discussion about our mutual cinematic journey!
