Originally a law enforcement tool, the mug shot has deviated from its fundamental purpose as a source of criminal identification. It has been sensationalized through celebritydom, exploited by the leniency of freedom of information, and has captivated the attention of the art world. Mugshot explores the personal stories of those whose lives have been transformed by these iconic photographs.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Very Cool!!!
This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
This is a well documented, sensitive, and inspiring film that every film student and doc film buff should see. There is history, drama, humor and artist merit at work here, and much effort has been put into presenting the integrity of the 'subjects' or persons depicted in the film. It always intrigues me that most documentary film makers, who work with a shoe string (or zero) budget are able to put together something so intelligent and interesting. These film makers should be highly commended and need our support and encouragement. Hopefully others will view Mugshots, vote favorably and encourage their friends to see it so they in turn can do the same.
