A Gripping New HBO Original
“The Alabama Solution” is HBO’s next powerful documentary that is bound to spark national conversation.
Directed and produced by Emmy®-winning filmmaker Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman, the film premieres Friday, October 10, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will stream on HBO Max.
The film made its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received critical acclaim for its raw and unflinching storytelling.
The Story Behind “The Alabama Solution”
In 2019, Jarecki and his team visited an Alabama prison to film a revival meeting. What happened off camera changed everything.
Incarcerated men began whispering to the filmmakers about hidden abuses taking place inside the prison.
That moment launched a six-year investigation that uncovered one of the deadliest and most corrupt prison systems in the United States.
Through rare direct access and contraband cell phone footage, the filmmakers pieced together a chilling story about a suspicious death.
The investigation revealed it was not an isolated event and that the official version was far from the truth.
“The Alabama Solution” shows a system collapsing under its own weight while failing the men inside.
A Shocking Tale Of Survival And Resistance
What makes “The Alabama Solution” so gripping is the way the story unfolds in real time. The documentary does not simply look back.
Instead, it captures events as they happen, following men who are fighting for survival while launching a campaign of resistance.
This is a story about brutality, corruption, and collapse, but also about resilience, courage, and the human spirit’s determination to be heard.
