With
the 70th anniversary of Alcatraz penitentiary
fast approaching, National Park Service Ranger
John Cantwell is calling all cons, inviting
every known ex-Alcatraz inmate - and their
former cellhouse guards - back to the Rock
for an Alcatraz Alumni Gathering.
Determined
to capture the story of this most unlikely
of reunions, director John Paget travels
the continent in search of any surviving
ex-prisoners of Alcatraz. They were America's
most dangerous public enemies - but who and
where are they now?
Against the backdrop of
these colorful characters and their imminent
rendezvous, 'Alcatraz Reunion' traces the
history of the iconic island, and its mysterious
transformation from notorious prison to tourist
mecca.
