Choose a love that breaks all chains.
Doing Life streams in the US on one subscription service — Netflix — and nowhere else right now: no free stream, and no rent-or-buy option. Here is what that means for watching it.
A single mother and an incarcerated man begin an unexpected connection through heartfelt letters. As they share their thoughts, their correspondence offers both a chance to find hope and a path toward redemption and love.
