VIDEO! You can watch George and I chat on Spotify and YouTube or listen to the conversation wherever you listen to podcasts. “What’s the likelihood that you go back to prison?” George’s story is incredible- after 10 years of incarceration because he was outed by his own mother, George made a film now streaming on HBO and had his art displayed at the MoMA in New York.

Morton is a classical painter who spent ten years in federal prison. In the documentary, he travels to his hometown to paint his family members.
