Winner "Best Homegrown Documentary" at Black Warrior Film Festival 2018
Private probation plagues the indigent and poor across hundreds of municipalities in a dozen states. “On The Backs Of The People” chronicles the spread of this industry while exploring the plight of a Clanton county resident, Roxanne Reynolds. Her story, along with the testimony of lawyers, judges, and journalists, serves to illuminate the exploitative nature of private probation and the cycle of debt and misery it forces on everyday people.
