After miscarrying her baby in prison due to shackling, Pamela Winn becomes an activist, leading thousands to support – and pass – the 2019 Georgia Dignity Act, which outlawed shackling of pregnant and postpartum inmates. WINN follows Pamela’s journey from prison to the halls of the state Capitol; from incarcerated person to outspoken law-changer; from powerless to empowered. Told using a blend of verité style filmmaking, animation, and compelling first-person interview footage, this powerful, short film exposes the horrifying experience that incarcerated pregnant women endure and documents Pamela's mission to end shackling and ultimately prison birth.
