Originally part of her dissertation for her Ph.D., these tapes document the men at the California Institute for Men in Chino, California, who have HIV/AIDS. Videos range from personal reflections to creative interactions. As part of her art therapy series, these men elect to take courses with Wendy to explore the vastness of their lives– the good and the bad– in order to emotionally heal and prepare for a life outside of prison. These men can be seen across multiple series in the collection, such as Amen and One-on-One. These tapes must be viewed on-site at the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research in Madison, WI.
