Post-film Q&A with subject Jacinta Hunt.

A feature documentary directed by Jessica Earnshaw, JACINTA is a deeply intimate portrait of mothers and daughters and the effects of trauma. The film follows a young woman in and out of prison as she attempts to break free from an inherited cycle of addiction, incarceration, and crime. “A searingly honest portrait of kinship and addiction.” —Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter.
