While locked-up for six years in federal prison, artist Jesse Krimes secretly creates monumental works of art--including an astonishing 40-foot mural made with prison bed sheets, hair gel, and newspaper. He smuggles out each panel piece-by-piece with the help of fellow artists, only seeing the mural in totality upon coming home. As Jesse's work captures the art world's attention, he struggles to adjust to life outside, living with the threat that any misstep will trigger a life sentence.

Feb 16, 2023 Full Review Michael Ward Should I See It We all can find something to feel inspired by through the work, the words, and the fearless honesty of Jesse Krimes.
