Where to Watch The Quilters
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Feels like a companion piece to Sing Sing. A half hour documentary short portrait of a quilting program at a department of corrections facility. Inmates learn every aspect of the quilting process and create hand-made, hand-designed quilts for foster children. The redemptive power of art, creation and community service are on full display. It’s also simultaneously sad to see some of the inmates lose these privileges.
