The teenage girls of Warrenville Prison get a shot at redemption in a most unlikely form: a musical based on their lives. As three fascinating girls write and stage their play, they're compelled to re-live their crimes, reclaim their humanity and take a first step toward breaking free of the prison system.
Heather Ross is an Emmy-winning writer & director whose work has appeared on HBO, CNN, Apple TV, Netflix and others. Her film "For Madmen Only" (Hulu), a sly comedy/doc feature starring Patton Oswalt, Bob Odenkirk, and Jason Sudeikis, premiered at SXSW, and was named "a streaming gem" by the New York Times. Her first feature, "Girls on the Wall", about a group of teenage girls in max-security prison who put on a musical about their crimes, garnered an Emmy.
