The Farm: Angola, USA is a 1998 award-winning documentary set in America's infamous maximum security prison in Angola, Louisiana. It was produced by Jonathan Stack and Liz Garbus and directed by Stack, Garbus, and Wilbert Rideau.

The film follows the lives of six prison inmates who convey their own personal stories of life, death, and survival in a world that few manage to ever leave. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

A follow-up film, The Farm: 10 Down, which examines the lives of the surviving prison inmates 10 years after the original film, was released in 2009.
