Details
The inmates, many of whom are serving life sentences, refuse to succumb to this closure and find solace and expression through the power of art. The documentary takes viewers inside New Folsom Prison's Arts in Corrections' room, where the prisoners use various mediums to create their artwork. We witness powerful prison poetry readings, soulful gospel choirs, and even blues guitar performances on the prison yard.
The film showcases the determination and resilience of these individuals, who use their creativity as a means of reclaiming their humanity in a dehumanizing environment. Through their art, they seek connection, self-expression, and a glimmer of hope amidst their bleak circumstances.
At Night I Fly: Images from New Folsom offers a thought-provoking exploration of the transformative power of art and its impact on the lives of those society often forgets. It challenges preconceived notions about inmates and provides a platform for their voices to be heard. This compelling documentary is a must-watch for anyone interested in understanding the human experience behind bars.

Från ett grått och monotont 70-tals-Malmö reste sig Wilmer X som en elektrisk storm. Med punkig, blues-doftande rock'n'roll i blodet skakade de liv i staden och satte Sverige i gungning. Genom eviga turnéer och ikoniska låtar som “Teknikens under”, “Vem får nu se alla tårar”, “Spela under hot” och “Om en hund mådde såhär”, blev de en självklar del av det svenska folkhemmets soundtrack. Nu, 45 år senare, när bandet står inför en efterlängtad comeback ställs medlemmarna inför nya frågor om tvivel och åldrande. Svensk dokumentär från 2025 av Stefan Berg.
