LOST FOR LIFE - Documentary on Youth In Prison with Joshua Rofé

LOST
FOR LIFE, the documentary tracing the effects of imprisonment on youth
offenders, and how life sentencing for minors has caused a moral crisis
in the justice system, is shared with the trailer and discussion
courtesy of director Joshua Rofé. The broken system, lost concept of
rehabilitation, and the larger concept of forgiveness in a society that
is fixated on punishment is all explored in this Media Mayhem interview.

GUEST BIO:
Joshua
Rofé is a director and writer known for THE GRAY IN BETWEEN, BROOKLYN
BATTERY and THE SMALLEST RIVER IN ALMIRANTE. He was born in Brooklyn,
New York to immigrant parents. Discovering the films of Rainer Werner
Fassbinder, Martin Scorsese, John Cassavetes, and Werner Herzog set him
on the path of making films. It was the sense of urgency and brutal
honesty in their respective works that inspired and helped shape him as a
filmmaker. After hearing a story from a friend’s father, who is a
judge, about a 15-year-old girl he had sentenced to Life Without Parole,
Rofé knew what his next film would be LOST FOR LIFE, which is also his
first documentary.
In the United States today, more than 2,500
individuals are serving life-without-parole sentences for crimes they
committed when they were 17 years old or younger. Children as young as
13 are among the thousands serving these sentences. LOST FOR LIFE, tells
the stories of these individuals, of their families' and of the
families of victims of juvenile murder. It is the result of
writer-director-producer Joshua Rofé’s intensive efforts over four
years.
