What I Want My Words To Do To You

"What I Want My Words To Do To You" is a documentary about the lives of women prisoners that are incarcerated in Bedford Hills. The director and executive producer for this intriguing documentary was Eve Ensler.
In the documentary, Eve Ensler visits Bedford Hills Prison to talk to the prisoners with the worst prisons sentences. Eve Ensler brings hope, life, and courage to the women by letting them express their feelings, talk about their crimes, and write down burdens they carry.
The camera work, editing, sound, lighting, script, and special effects in this movie were exceptional. Eve Ensler captured the emotion in the ladies' faces, the insight in their lives, and was "up close and personal" about their crimes. Eve offered a trusting environment for the women to open up. All of the cameras were never too far away from the person speaking. She made it about the speaker and only about the speaker.
Recommending this movie would be the most difficult thing of all. Although some parents might want to show their young children this movie to put that "scared straight" mentality in them, the language in this documentary is explicit. I would recommend this movie to the age group of 14 year olds and up. At that age, most of the prisoners were already getting in trouble, so showing it to the 14 years old age group where peer pressure is a key factor, instills in the 14 year olds "consequences for your actions."
In conclusion, "What I Want My Words To Do To You", is an amazing documentary that will show compassion, hope, and trust in people that you may not even know.
