Documentary Film + Movement Coming Spring 2027

Campaign 4 Justice follows Calvin Duncan, who spent 28 years in Angola Prison for a crime he did not commit before becoming one of Louisiana's leading criminal justice advocates. After decades helping dozens of wrongfully convicted people gain their freedom, Calvin launches a historic campaign for New Orleans Clerk of Criminal Court, believing the office can improve access to the court records that often determine whether justice is possible. Supported by lifelong friends and fellow Angola jailhouse lawyers and founders of the Angola Special Civics Project Norris Henderson and Chico Yancy, campaign manager Emily Faye Ratner, and his daughter CoCo, Calvin wins a landslide election only to face an extraordinary challenge when the state eliminates the position after he is sworn into office. The film explores the intersection of democracy, political power, and racial justice while following a movement born inside Angola Prison that continues to fight for change. As events continue to unfold, the documentary asks whether the will of the voters can prevail, how Calvin and his team will respond, and what lasting impact this battle will have on Louisiana's justice system and the movement they have spent decades building.
