Sacramento International Film Festival 2009

With the 70th Anniversary of Alcatraz Penitentiary fast approaching, Park Ranger John Cantwell is inviting every ex-Alcatraz inmate and their former cell house guards back to the Rock for an 'Alumni Gathering.’Intrigued by this most unlikely of reunions, filmmaker John Paget travels the continent to find the few surviving ex-prisoners of Alcatraz. They were once 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 transformation from notorious prison to tourist mecca.
