Reality strikes hard on a naive 22-year-old when the gavel slams down like a bomb after the words “10 years in San Quentin”.  Grief-stricken and suicidal, Mandell Motley finally commits to God’s calling after years of running and rebelling. His dedicated service behind the walls, brings miracles beyond belief, to this humble country boy inside the confines of San Quentin.

SYNOPSIS:

Named after the 3-time Grammy nominated gospel album sung by the San Quentin Mass Choir produced by The Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, He’s All I Need is a true story about the life of Pastor Mandell Motley; the man who recruited, revamped and lead the choir.

At the tender age of 22, Mandell was sentenced to 10 years in prison at the notorious San Quentin penitentiary for multi-state non-violent crimes. Overcoming grief, suicide, and the inherent dangers behind its walls, Mandell spread hope, inspiration, and internal freedom throughout the prison walls.

The resilient foundation he builds for himself within the prison walls holds strong when he finds himself the victim of inhumane treatment and atrocities at the hands of Texas law enforcement 25 years after time served.
