TitleHard Road Home
NotesHard Road Home tells the story of Julio Medina and the Exodus Transitional Community, the center he created to help ex-offenders navigate the transition from prison to life on the outside.

At the age of 19, Julio Medina was arrested for dealing drugs. He did 12 years for the crime and, during those years, experienced the worst that prison life has to offer. By chance, he also encountered one of the more extraordinary educational opportunities available in the American prison system - the New York Theological Seminary Masters Program at Sing Sing Correctional Facility. Medina says the program gave him more than he can name - his education, his faith, his vocation, his life back.

When Medina was released from prison and found himself facing overwhelming obstacles to reintegration, he knew that, if he made it, he was going to commit his life to helping the thousands who faced the same challenge every day - most of whom return to prison within five years of their release.

Includes a longer (74 min) and shorter (54 min) version of the film, along with a 15 min. short specifically for faith communities.
