The Sun is a powerful and thought-provoking film that challenges everything you thought you knew about people in prison. Gen's burning ambition to become a prison officer was an unlikely career choice, given her background. At twenty-three, full of hopes and dreams of helping those that needed it most within the prison system, she discovered the reality of life behind bars that no training could possibly have prepared her for. In this searing account of her years as a prison officer, Gen shares how she learned to use her heart, humor, and sheer bloody-mindedness to make a difference to the men who lived by a different set of rules, finding her place amongst gangsters, killers, and traffickers.

Gen's journey as a prison officer is a testament to her resilience and determination. She faced numerous challenges and obstacles, from dealing with violent inmates to navigating the complex politics of the prison system. However, she never lost sight of her mission to help those in need.

One of the most striking aspects of The Sun is the way Gen interacts with the men she works with. She shows them respect and empathy, despite their crimes and mistakes. She understands that they are human beings with complex lives and motivations, and she works tirelessly to help them turn their lives around.

Gen's story is also a reflection of the broader social and political issues surrounding prison reform. The film highlights the need for more resources and support for prisoners, as well as the importance of addressing the root causes of crime and violence. It also raises questions about the role of the prison system in perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality.

Overall, The Sun is a must-watch film for anyone interested in social justice and criminal justice reform. It is a powerful and moving portrayal of a woman who refused to be defeated by the challenges she faced, and who made a real difference in the lives of those she worked with.
