Our celebrated crhc:film series returns with an intimate look at one man’s struggle to create greater fairness in the criminal legal system.
After an almost two-year COVID hiatus, our celebrated crhc:film series returns for a new series of compelling documentaries and even more compelling local conversations.
In the last half-century, the U.S. has become the nation with the highest rate of incarceration in the world. Punitive practices disproportionately target and impact communities of color, where more than half of the people on death row in this country are people of color. Our failure to honestly confront our history of racial and economic injustice means that we struggle to truly practice “equal justice for all.”
“True Justice” chronicles Bryan Stevenson’s struggle to create greater fairness in the criminal legal system and to show how racial injustice emerged, evolved, and continues to threaten the country, and it challenges viewers to join him in creating a new and brighter future.
Following the film, local advocates join in conversation with the audience to share stories, discuss, and identify solutions we can all work towards together in order to achieve meaningful local change.
To honor the ownership and rights of the filmmakers, this event is offered in-person only for free. Public participation is highly encouraged.
Masks over the mouth and nose are required of both vaccinated and un-vaccinated guests for the duration of the event.
