The Film
UNCAGED
In 2015, after learning of Chris Hedges' promise to his class at Eastern State Penitentiary, that he would -- somehow, someway, someday -- mount the play they had written together, filmmaker Michael Nigro contacted Hedges and persuaded him into documenting the process.
"Uncaged" is not simply a run-and-gun, behind-the-scenes look at producing the play. Nor is it the filmed version the play. Rather, the film utilizes specific, incisive scenes from the play as a narrative springboard in order to examine the vast cultural and social implications that the script itself presents.
