The Grammy-winning rocker/activist, who grew up in the shadow of Leavenworth Prison in Kansas, returns to her home state to perform for incarcerated women at the Topeka Correctional Facility in an uplifting two-part docuseries. Inspired and moved by letters she received from inmates, many struggling with addiction issues (such as the opioid addiction that cost her own son his life), Melissa Etheridge writes and performs an original song during a concert that literally rocks their world. As she puts it: “The best I can do is to be a light that holds these people up and says, ‘You matter.’”
