There’s a brand–new documentary dropping on YouTube called Set Free, and if you love Maverick City Music, Brandon Lake, Kirk Franklin, or just incredible behind-the-scenes stories… this is the right place.
The film follows Travis and Bridget Joyner, two entrepreneurs who basically asked God, “How can we make a real difference?”And somehow that question turned into Brandon Lake, Kirk Franklin, Tony Brown, and a whole crew of Mav City writers walking straight into a Florida prison to make music with the men inside. Check out this music video.
And we’re not talking a tiny worship moment, either. This became the largest prison event of its kind, with over 1,300 inmates filling the yard as artists and incarcerated men wrote songs, recorded vocals, and worshiped shoulder-to-shoulder. Those sessions ended up becoming Kingdom Book One, the Grammy-winning album we all had on repeat.

Tony Brown (co-founder of Maverick City) said it best:
“We’re going to treat these men the same way Jesus would—close enough to hear their breath, close enough to hear every word.”
And that’s exactly what Set Free captures: radical generosity, real conversations, and the kind of creativity that can only happen when people show up exactly where Jesus would go. Set Free premieres on YouTube soon—and it’s totally free to watch. Keep an eye on setfreemovie.com, and in the meantime… if you haven’t seen Maverick City + Kirk Franklin’s Tiny Desk yet, you need it in your life.
