Kindful Restoration’s Ernesto Rodriguez was involved in an exceptional project, “The 50 Film Documentary.”

This film showcases incarcerated individuals participating in California’s unprecedented Offender Mentor Certification Program, which trains them to become certified drug counselors.

The documentary is inspiring yet shocking, infused with a quiet sadness as it delves into the reasons why individuals end up in prison.

At the same time, it captures the transformative power of recovery, rehabilitation, and personal change, highlighting how these experiences result in some of the most motivating individuals who return to society eager to give back to the community they once took from.
