SUMMARY:Conviction
DESCRIPTION:Nance  Ackerman\, Ariella Pahlke\, Teresa MacInnes \n2019 |
  78 min \n\nBianca\, Treena\, Laura\, and Caitlin are a stark reflection 
 of the troubling worldwide tendency to criminalize and imprison the most v
 ulnerable in society—those most affected by poverty\, addiction\, childh
 ood trauma\, and mental illness.\n\nTogether with long-time prisoners’ r
 ights advocate Kim Pate and others\, these women collaborate with the film
 makers to answer a deceptively simple question: What would you have needed
  to avoid incarceration? Through art\, photography\, filmmaking and poetry
 \, the women inside envision a more ideal world on the outside.\n\nTheir c
 reative agency emerges as a force that empowers them to chart the course o
 f their own lives\, and they become increasingly engaged in making Convict
 ion—not another 'broken prison' film\, but rather a 'broken society' fil
 m.\n\nConviction takes us on a raw and cinematic journey\, while making th
 e impassioned argument that we would do better to create communities that 
 heal and support our most vulnerable\, rather than punish them further.\n\
 nCanadian Friends Service Committee community screening and discussion of 
 Conviction. Join us for a viewing of this incredible documentary\, followe
 d by a discussion with Canadian Friends Service Committee’s Criminal Jus
 tice Program Coordinator\, Nancy Russell. \n** This event is free and ope
 n to the public. Donations to help CFSC continue our work are appreciated\
