"Freedom of mind is the real freedom. A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man." --Dr. B. R. Ambedkar

Locked Up, Yet Calm Within

"Prison time, you're in a box. Every second, every day, every year, every decade -- there's no hope. No matter what you accomplish in there, no matter what you do in there, you're still in that box." These are the words of boxer Dewey Bozella, locked up for 26 years for a crime that he did not commit. His is a story about the triumph of the human spirit, and living proof of the maxim: "never give up." One man's journey to reclaim his life, against all odds; a man fighting his biggest fight outside the boxing ring, without any hatred or bitterness towards the system. Narrated by Matthew Mcconaughey, this powerful short video shares the story of Dewey Bozella -- courageous, persistent, human and finally ... free.
