In the United States, more than 2500 individuals are serving life-without-parole sentences for crimes they committed when they were 17 years old or younger. Children as young as 13 are among the thousands serving these sentences. LOST FOR LIFE tells the stories of these individuals, of their families' and of the families of victims of juvenile murder. The result of four years of Rofé’s intensive effort, this searing documentary tackles this contentious issue from multiple perspectives and explores the complexity of the affected individuals’ lives. What is justice when a kid kills? Can a horrific act place a life beyond redemption?
