Sentenced is an immersive and vulnerable exploration of the epidemic of childhood illiteracy through a series of braided character driven stories. Filmed from the point of view of ethnically diverse adults and children who have never learned to read, the film is a forceful yet tender tale of how literacy can free children from the cycles of generational poverty.
