The Wildest Show in the South!
Overview:
In 1995, Jerry Brown, 18, was sentenced to life without parole for murder at Angola (Louisiana), America's most infamous maximum-security prison. He is now the star of the Angola Prison Rodeo. Each Sunday in October, inmates battle bulls without training for a few seconds of fame and some money. For Angola's warden, the proceeds of the rodeo fund the religious education of his inmates. "Razor Wire Rodeo" tells the unflinching story of lives defined by violence and crushed by the pitiless corrections practices in Louisiana. Jerry Brown believes his fame will help him to get out of Angola. But in a state, that hardly ever grants clemencies, his battle against the bull is symbolic of a fight for freedom lost a long time ago.
