Today Silvia remains in prison, having already served 15 years of a 43-year sentence. An international coalition movement of peace and social justice activists, based in Italy, struggles for her release and return to the land where she was born. They argue that she is a political prisoner held for her beliefs; had she been convicted only for her actions, she would have been released after 40 to 52 months in prison. She has now served more than 175 months. While in prison she has organized an ongoing AIDS prevention project and completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in history. Currently, she teaches African-American history, English as a second language, and Italian to other prisoners.
Does anyone have any information on how to secure this documentary? I have researched it and have not been able to find a source, except the trailer on youtube.
