Downstream is a one hour documentary film featuring the compelling stories of those left behind when a parent goes to prison. Vermont children and caregivers share their experiences, revealing the complex and emotional terrain they navigate in the wake of a parent's incarceration.
The film also includes the voices of a number of Vermont leaders and advocates whose perspectives help give larger context to the children's and family's stories. Those appearing in the film include: elected and state officials, educators, a law school professor, and a pediatrician. A discussion will follow the film.
"'DOWNSTREAM' paints a vivid picture of the generational impact of incarceration on Vermont's children and families. Kudos to the Lamoille Restorative Center for illustrating the challenges that confront young people when a parent is in prison. And thanks to the subjects who have agreed to share their most personal stories so that others may better understand the plight that they and others face." U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy.
