SUMMARY:Incarceration through the Eyes of Chidren
DESCRIPTION:A moving documentary film\, “Tre Maison Dasan” follows three boys\, each with an incarcerated parent. Panel discussion afterwards.\nSynopsis\nTre Maison Dasan is an intimate portrait of three boys growing up\, each with a parent in prison. Directly told through the child’s perspective\, the film is an exploration of relationships and separation\, masculinity\, and coming of age in America when a parent is behind bars. \nTre\, Maison and Dasan are three very different boys. Tre is a spirited 13 year old who hides his emotions behind a mask of tough talk and hard edges. Maison is a bright eyed 11 year old with an encyclopedic mind and deep love for those around him. Dasan is a sensitive 6 year old with an incredible capacity for empathy and curiosity. Their parents are not incarcerated for the low-level offenses that have become infamous in conversations around mass-incarceration\, but their histories and relationships beg many questions about Justice and the lasting and rippling effects of a system at large. \n \nBethany Arts Community’s residency programs are made possible by ArtsWestchester with support from Westchester County Government.
