In a Whole New Way
Ensnaring almost four million Americans, probation has evolved from a second chance to avoid prison to a sanction actually feeding mass incarceration. Supported by neighborhood allies, some people of color set out in a whole new way to change all this—equipped only with cameras.

Jonathan Fisher
Jonathan Fisher is the Associate Director of the nonprofit Seeing for Ourselves, which equips and trains marginalized Americans to take charge of their own public narrative. When the pandemic's shutdown of the publishing industry made the nonprofit's intended book about this probation initiative infeasible, Jonathan figured he might instead stitch together available footage into a documentary as an alternative path to public awareness—and began watching Ken Burns's films to see how it could be done. "In a Whole New Way" is his first film.
