This film tells the story of playwright Liza Jessie Peterson's shutdown 2020 performance of her acclaimed play The Peculiar Patriot at Angola, the Louisiana State Penitentiary, America’s largest prison-plantation. The documentary examines what led to the shutdown of the performance, the material that confronted a system, and how the impact of Peterson's visit rippled through Angola long after the record of her visit was erased by prison authorities.
