Turning Point is a story of redemption, hope and the transformative impact of innovative thinking in criminal justice reform. The one-hour documentary introduces viewers to Turn90 founder Amy Barch and the transformative journey she offers participants as they work to overcome the odds, rebuild their lives and ultimately mentor others. By providing paid training, Turn90 enables participants to focus on personal growth without the immediate financial pressures of reintegration. Viewers get an inside look at the program’s unique elements including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy sessions that address the impact of survival tactics learned in prison and on the streets.
