Weeds (1987)
Het verhaal geeft een bijzondere kijk op het Amerikaanse strafsysteem en de criminelen die het moeten ondergaan. Lee Umstetter, een gevangene die levenslang heeft zonder kans op gratie, probeert zijn gedachten af te leiden door lezen. Na het zien van een toneelvoorstelling in de gevangenis door een lokale theatergroep, schrijft Umstetter zelf een toneelstuk, gebaseerd op de inhumane ervaringen in de gevangenis. Hij krijgt toestemming om het toneelstuk op te voeren met en voor zijn enthousiaste medegevangenen.
