Michael Celebrates His First Birthday Since His Release

Michael celebrates his 39th birthday—his first birthday as a free man in nearly two decades. His parole officer has given him permission to stay out late past his curfew, and he is determined to enjoy every last minute.

Michael meets up with his cousins at the pool hall and shares why this occasion holds special significance. "To finally be able to get out and have fun with my family, it's great, man. I've been looking for this day a long time."

Here, Michael savors his first birthday celebration since his release, and reflects on what birthdays were like behind bars.
