Stephen Curry’s Unanimous Media presents SENTENCED, an immersive and vulnerable exploration of the epidemic of childhood illiteracy through a series of braided character driven stories. Narrated by Stephen Curry, SENTENCED is filmed from the point of view of ethnically diverse adults and children who have never learned to read, the film is a forceful yet tender tale of how literacy can free children from the cycles of generational poverty.
A Note From Stephen Curry (Narrator/Producer) & Ayesha Curry (Producer)
Nothing is more foundational, or more important to a child’s success in life than the ability to learn and love to read. When that is missing, you take away the opportunity for an individual to meet their full potential, which is what is displayed in “Sentenced.” We’re grateful for the group of filmmakers and activists involved in this film who share a common goal of promoting literacy and changing these outcomes and inequities that exist.
A Note From Erick Peyton (Producer)
“Sentenced” is a moving documentary that we at Unanimous Media are proud to be a part of, taking viewers through the vulnerable stories of diverse individuals who never learned to read. It’s our hope that projects like “Sentenced” continue to use the power of storytelling to drive impact and systemic change.
