‘Tehachapi’ - Previews & Premier in France 

The film ‘Tehachapi’ is coming to France

May 28, 2024

In October 2019, JR received unprecedented permission to work in one of California's most violent maximum-security prisons: Tehachapi. There, he met with a group of 28 incarcerated men, and together they created a giant mural that transformed the prison yard. JR’s new feature documentary, Tehachapi, follows the collaborative, large-scale art projects he created with these men over the course of three years. It reveals how art can serve as a unifying force of hope, demonstrates individuals’ capacity for change, and offers a poignant look at the humanity behind prison bars. 

Having first premiered at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival, Tehachapi will be released in theaters across France on June 12th, 2024. Be among the first to experience the film by attending one of the previews taking place in the next two weeks. A selection of viewings will include post-screening discussions with JR and Kevin Walsh, a protagonist of the film who was formerly incarcerated at Tehachapi.
