Tre Maison Dasan

Three resilient boys grapple with the fallout of having an incarcerated parent as they come of age in America.

Premiere Date

April 1, 2019

Length

90 minutes

At a time when one in 14 children in America is growing up with an incarcerated parent, the film follows tough 13-year-old Tre, enthusiastic 11-year-old Maison, and empathic 6-year-old Dasan as they navigate their lives among extended family and friends and visit their parents serving sentences for serious crimes. In their own voices, and at their own pace, the three Rhode Island youths reveal their feelings on separation, masculinity, justice, and the resilience it takes to become a man with a parent behind bars.
