Description
Summary:	At Hilltop Prison in Gatesville, Texas, a unique Girl Scout troop, Troop 1500, unites daughters with mothers who are serving time for serious crimes, giving them a chance to rebuild their broken bonds and mend their fractured relationships. The film goes beyond the girls' prison experience to show the difficulties of daily life: balancing family, schoolwork, and extracurricular activities under the care of dads, friends, and grandparents. The film presents a sobering but hopeful look at the struggles faced by the more than 1.5 million American children who have a parent behind bars.
