Interview with Karina Epperlein about Women in Prison Film
An interview with Karina Epperlein on her upcoming film about her work with women in prison. The film, Voices From Inside, is based on her work with female prisoners at the Federal Correctional Institute in Pleasanton, California. For two years she worked with groups of 5-12 women using voice and scream therapy in the effort to target core emotions within. The program, Finding Our Voices, tapped into painful feelings, such as the separation of these mothers from their children, with such expression that it inspired Epperlein to write poetry, as in the book Pouring Love into Bones, and the documentary, Voices From Inside. This interview was created in part to advertise for the film’s fundraiser on June 17-19, year unknown, at the Wild Cat Studio in Berkeley, California. Epperlein will be performing with Gwen Jones for Pouring Love into Bones.
