Educating the public and inspiring action to change the U.S. money bail system are among the goals of the Bail Trap: American Ransom film campaign. The multipart initiative is co-produced by Brave New Films and the Pretrial Justice Institute.“We don’t run a think tank, and we don’t do research papers,” says Robert Greenwald, founder and president of Brave New Films. “We tell human stories and hope that from the human story comes a better understanding of policy.” Brave New Films recently released the first short film in the campaign, Breaking Down Bail.Breaking Down Bail combines information about the bail system—such as the fact that about 500,000 people are in jail on any day, awaiting trial—with man-on-the-street interviews, highlighting the many misconceptions people have about the bail system.
