Transcending the grim realities of the COVID-19 pandemic, Adamu Chan’s powerful documentary What These Walls Won’t Hold (2023) paints a poignant portrait of resilience and hope blossoming within the confines of California’s notorious San Quentin State Prison. Chan, formerly incarcerated himself, offers a unique insider’s view on life in and after San Quentin, delving into his own journey towards freedom. At the same time, he amplifies the voices of his community and their loved ones on both sides of the prison walls.

Filmmaker Adamu Chan will join moderator Althea Wasow (Film and Media Studies, UCSB) for a post-screening discussion of What These Walls Won’t Hold.
