The documentary 16 Bars chronicles the lives of four inmates at Richmond's city jail who participate in a music rehabilitation program. With the guidance of Grammy-winning artist Todd 'Speech' Thomas, they produce and record original music, confronting their pasts and working towards a new chapter in their lives. Set in Richmond, Virginia, the film explores the city's unique struggles with systemic racism, poverty, and mental health services, and the music serves as a testament to the harsh realities of the criminal justice system.
