Tre Maison Dasan
Year: 2018
Country:
United States
Run Time:
94 minutes
Tre, Maison, and Dasan are all very different from one another. Tre, 13, is a rebellious and defiant aspiring rapper. Maison, 11, is a precocious and energetic young man whose vocabulary far exceeds that of most preteens. And Dasan, six, is a sweet and tender-hearted boy who is often shy in front of the camera. What unites Tre, Maison, and Dasan is that each of them has a parent in prison…and they are not alone. Currently, one in 14 children in the United States have an incarcerated parent. Providing insight into the many childhoods marked by the criminal justice system, TRE MAISON DASAN follows the lives of these boys and explores the empty spaces that remain when a parent goes to prison. Both poignant and insightful with its fly-on-the-wall approach, this documentary shows that when mothers and fathers serve long sentences, it is not only the perpetrators who are punished. —G.S.
