About this Event

Kidnapping Cartel — San Bernardino Premiere Screening

Join us for a powerful premiere screening of Kidnapping Cartel, bringing together affected parents, advocates, community leaders, professionals, and everyday people who want to better understand the systems impacting children and families.

This event is more than a film screening. It is an opportunity for people with lived experience and those newly entering the conversation to gather in one room, hear one another, build community, and confront the ideas, policies, and institutions that have caused deep and lasting harm.

For parents who have experienced the child-welfare or dependency court system, this is a space to be seen and heard. For advocates, it is a chance to connect with others doing the work. And for community members who may know very little about these issues, the film offers an entry point into a conversation that affects far more families than many realize.

For many families, involvement with the child-welfare system begins during pregnancy, at the hospital, or in the first months of a baby’s life. This premiere will also bring attention to prenatal and postnatal support, maternal well-being, and the need for better community support that help mothers, fathers, and babies remain healthy, supported, and together.

We believe this gathering represents an important moment: families, advocates, and communities coming together to challenge systems that divide families and to imagine something better.

Come experience the film, and townhall, meet others in the community, hear from advocates and partners, and be part of a growing conversation about family, parental rights, child protection, accountability, and change.

Admission is free, but RSVP is required.

All are welcome. You do not need to have personal experience with CPS or family court to attend—only a willingness to listen, learn, and be part of the conversation.

This event is in collabration with our commuunity partners, SafeHaven Foundation, Starting Over Inc, and the F.R.E.E. Project.
