'They Call Us Monsters': New Documentary Follows Juvenile Offenders Facing Life Sentences

Next week, PBS debuts the documentary "They Call Us Monsters." The film is set in an L.A. County high-security facility inside a juvenile detention center. It's a kind of jail inside a jail for youngsters who've committed violent crimes and are awaiting trial. The film follows three teens -- Jared Nava, Juan Gamez and Antonio Hernandez -- who all could eventually be charged as adults. Some of them are in for gang-related murder or attempted murder, and are facing prison sentences more than 100 years long. As they await trial, they're doing something surprising: writing a screenplay with instructor Gabriel Cowan. Cowan joins us to talk about the film.
