By Rudy Valdez

Cindy Shank, a young mother of three, is serving fifteen years in prison for crimes committed by her ex-boyfriend. Incensed by this injustice, her brother Rudy chronicles the fight led by her family for her release, over the course of ten years, and reveals the horrifying consequences of the irreducible sentences related to drugs in the United States. The film will be accompanied by a discussion in the presence of Ruth Dreifuss, who will shed light on Switzerland's position on the issue.
