"We Need New Memories" | Tre Maison Dasan

In this excerpt from the film Tre Maison Dasan, troubled but wise-beyond-his-years teen Tre visits his incarcerated dad in prison where they bond over mutual experiences with probation and failed ankle monitors--and then realize they need new shared memories that don't revolve around criminality. "We need some fishing," Tre's dad says, laughing. "Because this is not normal."
