In Letters From The Blue we follow the friendships of three British women with three inmates on Death Row in the US built over years of letter writing. For the prisoners, Josie, Elena and Julia are a connection to the world, a refuge from loneliness and isolation. But what do the pen pals in the free world get out of these long distance relationships with murderers? Starting a relationship with an inmate on Death Row means believing in second chances, focusing on that person in the present and accepting that their friendship, however strong it may be, will not last forever. After decades of hand written letters these women have built relationships on sharing regrets, dreams, recipes and fitness regimes. We will see how the pen pals have become an irreplaceable support system for one another, how blood-drenched back stories have meshed with every day domesticity. But each woman is at a cross roads, they have an important, life changing decision to make about their relationships with the inmates on Death Row. This film follows that crucial decision over the coming months.
