Apple of Discord Productions and the Oakland Film Office present:













THE TRUST, a work-in-progress film by Tamara Perkins, Jesse Dana, and Diana J Brodie

An emotionally rich documentary, THE TRUST takes us into the lives of men and their families as they are reunited after decades in prison. Darnell, Abraham, Harrison and Chris - all incarcerated since teenagers - explore their turbulent pasts in order to help themselves and others while piecing together new lives. Transcending stereotypes in favor of nuanced, emotionally honest, and disarmingly humorous moments, THE TRUST offers a lens into the intimate lives of three men and their families battling for a second chance.
