Come to the first-ever Santa Cruz County screening of the extraordinary new documentary "Going Inside: Empathy in Action" at the Resource Center for Nonviolence! Going Inside is a powerful documentary that takes viewers inside the walls of a California prison, where something extraordinary is happening. Incarcerated men sit in circle with everyday citizens for eight weeks of deep dialogue, exploring trauma, accountability, healing, and hope. This isn’t a performance or reality show —it’s a raw and authentic exchange between people who might otherwise never meet.
Filmed at the Correctional Training Facility, Soledad, a level 2-3 prison in Central California, the program shows what’s possible when we break down barriers and build bridges of empathy.
Join us for a special screening of this moving film, followed by a conversation with program founder, Megan McDrew and formerly incarcerated Empathy in Action participants.
