Tagline
Freedom isn’t always on the outside.
Overview
A philosopher begins teaching a class of men in prison. Each week, Dan leads discussions about dominance, freedom, luck and other topics that have troubled philosophers for thousands of years – topics that gain a new meaning when seen through the prisoners' eyes - both igniting passions and creating tension.
How it feels
Tense, earnest, melancholic and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
