The Untitled Sam and Omar Project is a documentary feature that tells the poignant story of a father and son who build a relationship that transcends the boundaries of prison walls. It follows Sam Bader, a former film producer serving a 24-year prison sentence, and his estranged son, Omar, an aspiring actor and musician. Reconnecting over their mutual love for film, Sam and Omar begin working on a short film script together. In the process, they retrace their past and begin to heal the estrangement that began with Sam’s prison sentence 14 years ago.
