Samuel Goldwyn Films, Exalt Films and Intention Media are proud to present PEOPLE V. THE STATE OF ILLUSION. This film is set in the notorious 'Old Main Prison' of the New Mexico State Penitentiary and tells the story of Aaron Roberts, a single father who is arrested following an incident that claims the life of a woman. Aaron is convicted at trial and his daughter becomes a ward of the State. An attorney learns of her plight and decides to represent her in an innovative and emotionally compelling case against the State.

Written and produced by Austin Vickers, this movie explores the science and power of perception and imagination and the prison walls of habitual thought and behavior that we all create, and documents the evidence that answers the central questions of this provocative film, "what is real?" and "can we really change?" It is an inspiring and compelling movie that will wake you up to the power of your imagination, encourage your hope and elevate your spirit.
