Welcome to Susanville, Home to Prison

“Prison Town, USA,” documentary on the PBS series “P.O.V.,” explores the “after” debate in Susanville, on the edge of the northern Sierra. According to writer Neil Genzlinger, the film, made over two years, "looks at the big-picture issues Susanville now confronts through a collage of small stories. There are no documentary-style talking heads or charts here, just some very ordinary-looking people trying to find their places in a changed community."
