North American premiere of new director’s cut
Each year, 650,000 people are released from prison in the U.S., only to confront stigma and systemic exclusion. Directed by Debra Granik (Winter’s Bone), Conbody vs Everybody follows Coss Marte, a former drug dealer turned fitness entrepreneur, and his community of formerly incarcerated New Yorkers as they build a gym — and a life — on their own terms. Spanning eight years, the five-part docuseries captures their humor, grit and moral clarity amid gentrification and the pandemic, asking one of the most urgent moral questions of our time: after someone serves their sentence, why do we keep them imprisoned?
