Since I Been Down tells the story of Kimonti Carter, who was sent to prison for a drive-by shooting in 1997, when he was barely 18, for the killing of a college student named Corey Pittman.
The film's director, Dr. Gilda Sheppard, also tells the story of Kimonti's decades-long search for redemption, and of a prison education program he founded in hopes of giving fellow inmates hope behind bars.
Perhaps most powerfully, the film indicts the factors far outside of his control that made his neighborhood a haven for gangs, and put countless men behind bars when they were barely out of childhood.
