I really like this movies' approach on the prison system and the many truths it reveals. Although it may not be the main focus of the movie, I believe it does a good job at showcasing a prison's failure at rehabilitation.
I would italicize the movie title Shawshank Redemption anytime you mention it throughout your summary as well as your title.
