They Call Us Monsters
Directed by Ben Lear
Produced by Bunim/Murray Productions
A morally complex documentary that humanizes incarcerated youth while refusing easy answers about culpability, redemption, and justice.
Behind the walls of the Compound, LA’s most violent juvenile offenders await their trials. To their advocates, they’re kids. To the system, they’re adults. To their victims, they’re monsters. Who are they to you?
