Rock and a Hard Place

SYNOPSIS

Inspired by Dwayne Johnson's own experiences with the law as a youth, HBO documentary ROCK AND A HARD PLACE captures the lives of incarcerated young people who are granted a second chance through a one-of-a-kind boot camp program.
ROCK AND A HARD PLACE looks at incarcerated young people who are granted a second chance: the opportunity to trade an extensive prison sentence for a fresh start by completing the famed Miami-Dade County Corrections & Rehabilitation Boot Camp, a one-of-a-kind, six-month program in which drill sergeants push inmates to their limit, encouraging them to learn from their past mistakes and become constructive members of society who are substantially less likely to return to prison. Dwayne Johnson, whose own experiences with the law as a youth inspired the film, appears in the documentary. Oscar® nominees Matthew O'Neill and Jon Alpert direct.
