Following inmate hospice volunteers at Louisiana's maximum-security Angola prison as they care for dying fellow inmates. Forest Whitaker narrates the documentary, which begins as four volunteers are screened and trained. They must confront their squeamishness and in so doing find reservoirs of compassion as they do everything from change diapers to sew quilts. "Hospice is a way of dying with your family," says Angola warden Burl Cain, "and this is your family."
