It was just yesterday when I typed the words, "There is no stopping The Rock." Now, hot on the heels of his Boost Unit TV series announcement, Dwayne Johnson's Seven Bucks Productions company has revealed a new documentary series coming to HBO.

The series, titled Rock and a Hard Place, will showcase the struggles of prison inmates. Johnson will serve as a mentor to the young men who find themselves on the wrong side of the law because, according to his Instagram post, he has been in their shoes but he found a way to change. He knows they can too.

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
