After watching nearly every man in her life disappear to prison, Kristal Bush channels that struggle into keeping families connected, both as a social worker and through her van service that transports riders–mostly women–to visit loved ones in faraway prisons. But when her father and brother come home after decades behind bars, Kristal confronts the challenge of rebuilding her family and making a home for her nephew, Nyvae. Interweaving intimate vérité with Kristal’s own archive, A Woman on the Outside is a tender portrait of a family striving to love in the face of a system built to break them.
A Woman on the Outside is a participant of Project: Hatched 2022.
