Vital Signs
November 22, 1994
Vital Signs follows the life of a nameless inmate, who finding himself locked in solitary confinement, makes a ritual of the continual retelling of his life story. His story is a not so gentle reminder that there are those who took up the call for freedom and justice, and as a result are living out their lives in prison. African-American political prisoners who helped change the nation, only to be forgotten, and abandoned by those whom they sought to protect.
