Lakeshore Records will release a soundtrack album for the HBO documentary It’s a Hard Truth Ain’t It. The album features the film’s original music composed by Andrew Hollander (Waitress, Sleepwalk with Me, My Friend Dahmer, Labor Pains). The soundtrack will be released digitally on April 5 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. It’s a Hard Truth Ain’t It is directed by Madeleine Sackler and follows 13 incarcerated men as they study filmmaking as a vehicle to explore their memories and how they ended up with decades-long sentences. Several of those 13 men were also cast in Sackler’s narrative feature O.G. The documentary premiered at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival and aired this past February on HBO. Visit the official movie website for more information.
