Marcus Bullock knows firsthand what connection means behind bars. After serving an eight-year sentence, he founded Flikshop, a tech company that helps families send postcards to loved ones in any U.S. prison, which Forbes called “Instagram for prisons.” He’s an entrepreneur, a TED speaker and a tireless advocate for people coming home.

ABOUT THE FILM

At 16, Dwayne Betts was tried as an adult for carjacking and sentenced to nine years in prison. He became a poet in solitary confinement and since his release on March 4th 2005, has published award-winning collections of poetry, graduated Yale Law school, won a MacArthur “Genius” award, and created a non-profit that brings curated libraries to prison cell blocks. But prison haunts his success, as he still struggles to feel worthy of love, acceptance, and forgiveness.

Directed and produced by Robe Imbriano and Valerie Hong, March Forth follows Reginald Dwayne Betts on his journey from a teenager in prison to opening hundreds of Freedom Libraries in prisons across the country.
