Summary A 16 year old named 'Mouse' is arrested and charged with assault. This is an unremarkable event in the Bronx, New York, or anywhere else. What follows, however, is a harrowing story of anxiety, confusion, isolation, and doubt. A child is thrown into a bureaucratic labyrinth--is escape even possible? Control is a documentary that provides an entry into the complex issues of mass incarceration. While a dominant social force, the discussion around incarceration is cocooned in dire statistics and broad abstractions. This documentary gets close to the heart of this issue, choosing the micro over the monumental, and focuses on the everyday materializations of the prison system. View more details
