Incredible short doc---"Quilters" [View all]

Last edited Thu May 22, 2025, 11:49 AM - Edit history (1)

This is one of the best, most heartwarming documentaries I've seen in a long time. It's about a group of long-term prisoners, some lifers, who make quilts for foster kids in the Missouri foster care system. I about cried watching these men and the care they took with their projects and with helping each other. It's amazing, and only 33 minutes long. If you want to see what "caritas" in action looks like, don't miss it.
