About this Event
The Justice on Trial Film Festival speaks to the challenges of people caught up in the judicial system. They know only too well the pain and injustice—the solitary confinement, the stop-and-frisk humiliations, the selective prosecutions with bad plea bargains, and the unreasonably long sentences that they suffer. They are painfully familiar with the school-to-Pr*son pipeline that puts so many young people, particularly those of color, at risk. But their voices are often unheard beyond their own communities. The film festival creates an opportunity to project their voices to a world deafened by the negative images and stereotypes presented by the media.
***The Film Festival is free and open to the public. Register by October 21st to reserve your lunch.***

Searching for Justice (Prod: Mike Fritz & Frank Carlson [PBS])
Focuses on the challenges individuals face after incarceration — challenges made more difficult by the Covid-19 pandemic — from reconnecting with family, to finding work and housing, to staying out of Pr*son or J*il.
The Letter Room (Dir: Elvira Lind)
When a kind-hearted Pr*son officer (Oscar Isaac) is transferred to the letter room, he soon gets involved in an inmate's personal affairs...
Suppressed and Sabotaged (Dir: Robert Greenwald [Brave New Films])
Sheds light on how States all across the country have GOP-backed passed voter suppression laws. These laws are targeted, and they deliberately sabotage the voting methods of people of color.
