Up the Ridge is a one-hour documentary that offers viewers an in-depth look at the United States prison industry and the social impact of moving hundreds of thousands of inner-city offenders to distant rural outposts. The filmmakers were motivated by letters sent from Wallens Ridge State Prison that described human rights violations, racial tension, and cultural conflict between staff and inmates.
