prison system and the effect it has on black and Latino young men," Wooton explained.The film is described as a "gritty and powerful exploration of the effects of the prison industrial complex onthe spirit and psyche of black and Latino men in New York State and across the nation.""Artfully played out within the context of the flawed and overburdened justice system, 'The Tombs' is a firstattempt at using dramatic film as an educational medium for students and the broader public."The film is registered with this year's Cannes Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, and the Melbourne(Australia) International Film Festival.
