SYNOPSIS

The power of storytelling is in its ability to provoke new perspectives, engage people in difficult conversations and connect mankind. This is a documentary feature presented by Untold Docuseries.

"The Forgotten Boys" follows the stories of three young men connected by a prison based English class and debate team in Trinidad. Each journey uniquely heart-wrenching yet distinctively empowering.

Restorative justice programs within the prison tend to be a safe haven, providing remandees and inmates with a sense of purpose. This film will take you behind and beyond the bars seeking to humanize a sector of society often isolated.

The overall mission is to challenge stigmas, empower the misrepresented and influence social change. Highlighting universal human experience and adversity from a Caribbean perspective.
