“The Alabama Solution” is an independent American documentary film about the prison system in Alabama from the perspective of incarcerated inmates, from footage they recorded with contraband phones. The documentary, directed by Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman, premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews. Jarecki and Kaufman were kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work and experience on making the film, which you can listen to or watch below. Please be sure to check out the film, now playing in limited release and available to stream on HBO and HBO Max starting October 10th, from HBO Documentary Films. Thank you, and enjoy!
