Conbody Vs Everybody

Teaser Trailer

Conbody Vs Everybody Trailer HD - Plot synopsis:  Filmed over 8 years, this five-part doc series from director Debra Granik combines a remarkable, against-the-odds story of grit, survival, and redemption with an incisive look at the harms of America’s prison industrial complex. After years in and out of prison, former drug dealer turned entrepreneur Coss Marte is determined to take control of his future by building Conbody, a New York City gym with a unique social purpose: to employ formerly incarcerated people in an attempt to combat the high rate of recidivism. As Marte wages an uphill battle against the stigma of incarceration & realities of a relentlessly gentrifying city where second chances are hard to come by, what emerges is both an inspiring portrait of a man on a mission + an examination of a system that continues to punish people even after they've served their time.  Conbody vs Everbody is a documentary series directed by acclaimed American filmmaker Debra Granik  #ConbodyVsEverybody
