Prison Hospice Documentary Shortlisted for Oscar

Last year, I congratulated Edgar Barens on his devotion to a story about a terminally-ill prisoner in Iowa.

That devotion is paying off. This week, Barens’ film titled Prison Terminal: The Last Days of Private Jack Hall has been nominated for Best Documentary Short Film for the 2014 Oscars.

Follow Prison Terminal on Facebook, Twitter and on the blogging.
