Herman Wallace has served more time in solitary confinement than possibly any prisoner in the U.S. penal system. Yet behind bars, after embracing the self-pride of the Black Panther movement, he has become a force of peace and reason. Jackie Sumell is a New York artist who recreated his tiny cell in an art gallery and is trying to get his dream house built in New Orleans for his (she hopes) eventual release.
The injustice of solitary confinement and the transformative power of art are explored in Herman's House, a feature documentary that follows the unlikely friendship between a New York artist and one of America's most famous inmates as they collaborate on an acclaimed art project.
