Sister Hearts

About This Movie

Sister Hearts is a raw dive into resilience. Directed by Mohammad Gorjestani, it captures Maryam Henderson-Uloho's journey post-incarceration—really gets you thinking about the complexities of re-entry into society. The pacing feels almost meditative, as we watch her transition from selling goods out of a suitcase on the streets of New Orleans to building a business with heart. The documentary doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of life after prison, but it also celebrates the small victories. It’s striking how it highlights themes of community and redemption. The atmosphere is gritty yet hopeful. Maryam herself is a compelling presence, and her struggles feel very real, very immediate. There's a humanity here that sticks with you.
