The Film
»My name is Spoon Jackson. I’m an actor, poet and writer, perhaps, sometimes philosopher. I’m also a human being who did a hurtful deed back in 1977. I’ve been in prison since that time…« Serving a life sentence in his native USA, Spoon Jackson reads out his poems over a crackling telephone line from jail. In this moving and poetic short film, his verse is blended with imagery and music.
