This documentary allows for us as viewers to see what its like inside prison for a bit. The Correctional system in the United States is no joke. It is scary, organized, and cruel. Q- Ball focuses on the few things in life in prison that these felons enjoy. A problem I found with the film is that the members of the team are made to be some type of hero when in fact these men did horrible things. I think that the documentary should have explored this further. I think they did well with Cuevas and his case regarding the mother and asking for parole, but I think the other instances of the main charters should have been explained further. I do love the idea of second chances, and I think that in Q-ball this theme is explored and developed with Harry ATL. Harry gets a second chance and the doc leaves of with Harry on his own after not reaching what he wanted to, so there is some uncertainty here which makes the viewer invested on what is happening. This is a great technique because that way people can see how the prison system works. I do also like the realism to the doc. The documentary does not end in sunshine and rainbows rather in uncertainty and unknown but that is exactly what life is. I think there should be a call to action with the doc for viewers to see a purpose. Overall it is a good watch and very much interesting. Basketball fans will enjoy.
