of pounds
of vegetables, hundreds
of workhorses, and thousands of cattle. On June 16th, the filmmakers will debut “A Decade Behind Bars: Return to the Farm,” on National Geographic, revisiting Angola to examine the changes and innovations that have taken place at the prison which have led to a surprising 74 percent drop in acts of violence.
