2019年10月，JR获准在加利福尼亚特哈查比的一所最高安全级别监狱里开展艺术工作。JR去那里见了囚犯，并提出了一个在中央围场合作艺术项目的想法。JR和他的团队从高处为这些人拍摄了照片，并给予他们在摄像机前讲述自己故事的机会。两周后，JR带着他的团队再次回到监狱，在短短几个小时内，和监狱里的囚犯、警卫、前囚犯、选择原谅的受害者一起在围场地面贴上了338张纸条，完成了一幅巨大的围场贴画。本片导演JR是世界著名的艺术家，曾与阿涅斯·瓦尔达合作拍摄《脸庞，村庄》，这次他将在高墙之下继续探索艺术的可能性。

Ellis, a fourteen-minute film directed by JR and written by Academy Award winner Eric Roth, tells the elusive story of countless immigrants whose pursuit of a new life led them to the now-shuttered Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital. Following its opening in 1902, approximately 1.2 million people passed through the facility, where the Statue of Liberty can be seen from the windows. Languishing in a sort of purgatory awaiting their fate, many were never discharged.

Using unexpected canvasses, JR's intention is to give a global voice to everyday people through a genre-blending combination of public art, photography and large format spectacle.

Two prisoners in complete isolation, separated by the thick brick walls, and desperately in need of human contact, devise a most unusual kind of communication.
