A young Nigerian immigrant to the USA chooses art over a menial job in a prison.

synopsis

In Huntsville, Texas, prisons have shaped daily life for generations. But in the past decade, this conservative southern town has become an unexpected landing place for African immigrants taking on prison jobs locals no longer want. Twenty-one-year-old Tega, a free-spirited artist, was one of the first to arrive with his family from Nigeria. His father, now a pastor and respected figure in the local Nigerian community, believes working in prison is a blessing. But Tega wants nothing to do with it. He has other plans: a studio of his own, where art and healing take centre stage. But as a young Black immigrant in America, walking his own path can be its own kind of risk.
