The Visitors
Melis Birder
64 minutes

the visitors is a documentary about people from New York City with family and loved ones in prison, who - regardless of weather, health or other conditions, climb aboard buses every weekend for a visit.

Reflecting the struggles of a unique culture living at the intersection of confinement and the free world, the story follows the coordinator of the bus -Denise- whose husband is coming home soon after 17 years of imprisonment.
