Leaving Angola making its way in the World

I am so happy to see Leaving Angola out there making the rounds on the festival circuit!


It's a powerful film and another wonderful Ruth Mendelson score I had the great privilege to mix augmenting Ruth's great work. Leaving Angola is the second film produced by Andrew Kukura and Northern Light Productions I have worked on.


Filmed over seven years with rare access inside America’s largest maximum-security prison, Leaving Angola is a story about finding family and uncovering one’s true potential in an unlikely place – about hope in a place once designed to extinguish it – and about the possibilities and limits of change in the state with the highest rate of incarceration per capita in America.
