Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s new HBO documentary has the perfect name

If you smell what The Rock is documentin'...

Presumably by simply ripping a hole in the space-time continuum with his bare hands, The Rock has found time between feature films, reality shows and WrestleMania prep to make a documentary about a youth prison boot camp.

Partnering with HBO, Johnson will head inside Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Boot Camp Program, in what he branded a “passion project”.

The name?

Rock and a Hard Place

“By the time I was 16, I had been arrested eight or nine times for a variety of things, and can relate to what these kids are going through,” the amiable walking hunk of muscle told Variety.

 

Incredible response to this announcement. Thank you. We hope to make a good one.. "ROCK & A HARD PLACE". We've officially started production on our next @HBO Documentary Films project. From armed robbery to attempted murder, we're taking you inside one of the most unique and successful boot camp prisons in the world. They break these young offenders down in a hard core way, only to build them back up to make them better men and women once they're released. We partnered up with the producers of LOCK UP and HBO's best documentary filmmakers to bring you a passion project of ours. With my multiple arrests, I was once one of these kids. One poor f*cked up decision after another. I turned my life around, and hopefully along the way we'll help a few turn theirs around too. Production starts now. #HBODocumentaryFilms #7BucksProductions #44BlueProductions #DadeCountyFlorida #RockAndAHardPlace

EXCLUSIVE: Our @SevenBucksProd is proud to partner with @HBO Documentary Films & @44_Blue to bring you "ROCK AND A HARD PLACE". A look at one of the most hard core and successful boot camp prisons in the world (an astonishing 9% recidivism rate, while the national prison rate is 70+%). The moment I stepped inside, spent time with and spoke to these incarcerated young men, I felt in my heart the world should see their struggle and hopefully witness their triumph. I was arrested multiple times starting at the age of 13yrs old. I was once in their shoes, but I changed and I know some of these young men can too. It's a powerful documentary that'll hit you to the core. Can't wait for you to see it. COMING THIS MAY. #SevenBucksProds #44Blue #HBODocumentaryFilms #RockAndAHardPlace
