Pervert Park

An unforgiving, unapologetic look at a facility in America where convicted sex offenders go to reintegrate into society – a society that openly labels and shames them. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at Sundance.

"The sex offender label is a scarlet letter in the United States. Individuals given this designation are relegated to a life of public shame, their photos posted online for all to see, with few opportunities for redemption. Only a small number of facilities, such as the beaten-down trailer park at the center of Frida and Lasse Barkfors’ unflinching new film, offer people the chance to confront their crimes and re-integrate—as much as the law will allow—into society. Although the formal title of the place is Florida Justice Transitions, local neighbors have nicknamed it 'Pervert Park'. Within this outcast community, a handful of offenders tell searing personal stories that paint a troubling portrait of abuse and justice in America." (Sundance Film Festival)
