Born Guilty

Born Guilty is a feature length documentary film that captures the lives of convicted women, all in different stages of motherhood, as they serve out their sentences and raise their children in maximum-security prisons in Mexico.

From pregnancy challenges, to raising and protecting a toddler within the prison walls, and then being separated from their children once they turn three years of age, Born Guilty is an unfiltered and harrowing look at the power and will of a mother to protect and care for her child in the harshest of circumstances.

The filmmaking team has unprecedented access to four Mexican prisons and dozens of mothers and children on the inside.
