The Mind of Mark Defriest

ABOUT MARK DEFRIEST:
In 1980, 19-year-old Mark DeFriest was sentenced to four years in prison for taking his deceased father's tools before the will probated. After 13 escapes attempts, 7 of them successful, the original four-year sentence stretched to 35 years and counting in prison, 27 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. 

This is the story of Mark DeFriest, both the hyper world of his mind as shown in detailed animations, and the documentary evidence of a broken prison system as seen through the eyes of America’s most notorious prison escape artist, also known as the Houdini of the Florida. 

As Mark’s fate looks darkest, an unlikely alliance from Mark DeFriest’s past comes together to argue for his freedom. Will their arguments and the voices of audiences that have seen the film be enough to set him free? 

The Mind of Mark Defriest is a documentary over 13 years in the making. Watch it today at DeFriest.com
