In this inspiring interview from In the Wake TV, Dr. Tonisha Taylor talks with Freddie Nole and Director Dana Nachman about their groundbreaking short documentary, The Second Life of Freddie Nole, following its New York Tribeca Film Festival premiere.

After a devastating mistake by the legal system cost him 50 years of his freedom, Freddie Nole didn’t turn his back on the past. Instead, he went right back to the prison gates to help others.

In this conversation, Freddie speaks openly about why community support is the real key to lasting freedom, while director Dana Nachman shares how she captured this moving road trip to show that, at the end of the day, we all share the same human need for connection and a true second chance.
