“It’s a Hard Truth Ain’t It” serves as a complementary work to “O.G.”, a fictional drama also helmed by Madeleine Sackler. This documentary is co-directed by thirteen inmates at the Pendleton Correctional Facility in Indiana. With unique access to this high-security prison, filmmaker Madeleine Sackler collaborated with the prisoners to share their personal narratives, resulting in this intimate and collective documentary endeavor.
