Mothering can be difficult at the best of times, but imagine trying to raise your children from jail. Filming in and out of prison over five years, director Jenifer McShane follows five mothers incarcerated at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in NY State as they work to “parent” from behind bars. Mothers of Bedford is a deeply moving story about these women, their journey and what it means to be a mother.
