3,000 Voices. One Film. HER STORY.

3,000 Voices. One Film.

Let's Make HERstory!

Help Us Break a World Record and Break the Silence.

What if 3,000 people came together to tell the stories of women the world has forgotten?

We are making a documentary. And we want YOU to help us make HERstory!

Going Inside: HER STORY is a powerful new documentary from the Transformative Justice Center and Humans Being Media, to be filmed inside the Central California Women's Facility (CCWF), one of the largest women's prisons in the world.

This film will bring audiences face-to-face with the women behind prison walls—not simply as incarcerated people, but as mothers, daughters, sisters, survivors, artists, and human beings whose stories deserve to be heard.

For too long, incarcerated women have been defined by their worst moments, their convictions, and their prison sentences.

But what if we knew what happened to her before we judged what she did?

Behind the Prison Walls: Stories We Rarely Hear

The realities of women's incarceration tell a story that is far more complicated than most people realize.

• 80% of women in state and federal prisons are mothers of minor children.
• 98% of women in state prisons reported experiencing prior histories of physical or sexual violence, substance use disorders, and mental health challenges
• NO ONE has created a documentary telling THEIR STORIES! HELP US BECOME THE FIRST!

These are not just statistics. They are mothers separated from their children. Survivors carrying wounds that may have never healed. Women whose lives have been shaped by trauma, loss, injustice, and difficult choices.

And yet, they are also women of extraordinary courage, creativity, wisdom, resilience, and hope.

Their stories deserve to be told. In their own voices.

More Than a Documentary. A Movement.

Building on our award-winning documentary Going Inside: Empathy in Action, we are turning the camera toward incarcerated women and inviting the world to see beyond the prison walls.

Through intimate storytelling and honest conversations, Going Inside: HER STORY will explore the experiences that shaped these women's lives, the challenges they face, and their journeys toward healing, accountability, and transformation.

We believe that storytelling has the power to change hearts, challenge assumptions, and transform the way society understands incarceration.

Not as statistics. Not as stereotypes. But as human beings.
