Beyond the Wall  highlights one of the most critical issues in criminal justice reform:  the many prisoners returning to their communities each year where they face tremendous challenges and barriers.  The film explores the  national debate over criminal justice reform and how it connects to the current opioid epidemic: the flood of prisoners returning to our communities without the guidance and support needed for a successful transition back to society. Too often, untreated opioid addiction leads to re-incarceration and then  back into a system that becomes a set up for failure

Beyond the Wall  follows five formerly incarcerated men who are attempting to rebuild their lives on the outside with little support from our criminal justice system. Their stories revolve around one central figure, a former prisoner named Louie Diaz, who works with each man to help him maintain his sobriety and his freedom. Through compelling and intimate scenes, the film vividly captures the struggle for survival outside prison walls and the importance of mentoring.
