- Description
- The United States is the only country in the world that sentences children to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Fair sentencing of youth reflects the belief that a just alternative to life in prison without parole is to provide careful reviews to determine whether, years later, individuals convicted of crimes as youth continue to pose a threat to the community.

Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth:http://www.fairsentencingofyouth.org
About Snitch: Dwayne Johnson stars as John Matthews, a businessman hit hard when his teenage son is wrongfully ensnared in a drug bust and threatened with a terrifying 10-30 years in federal prison (under the US government's draconian minimum drug sentencing laws). The only option to reduce the sentence is to "snitch." A desperate Matthews makes a deal with the politically ambitious federal prosecutor (Sarandon) and infiltrates the operation of a viole...

Good Day was shot using traditional stop-motion animation, and incorporated over 2,500 individual frames. Different than traditional 2D animation, the piece was shot on a live set, utilizing hand-made paper cutouts. The process was a true labor of love. Every bit of movement, expression and transition required an intense amount of planning and preparation. As a result, the filmmakers were only able to capture 2 seconds of screen-time per day.
