SUMMARY:Conviction
DESCRIPTION:Nance  Ackerman\, Ariella Pahlke\, Teresa MacInnes \n2019 |
  78 min \nTo purchase tickets\, click here.\nBianca\, Treena\, Laura\, a
 nd Caitlin are a stark reflection of the troubling worldwide tendency to c
 riminalize and imprison the most vulnerable in society—those most affect
 ed by poverty\, addiction\, childhood trauma\, and mental illness.\n\nToge
 ther with long-time prisoners’ rights advocate Kim Pate and others\, the
 se women collaborate with the filmmakers to answer a deceptively simple qu
 estion: What would you have needed to avoid incarceration? Through art\, p
 hotography\, filmmaking and poetry\, the women inside envision a more idea
 l world on the outside.\n\nTheir creative agency emerges as a force that e
 mpowers them to chart the course of their own lives\, and they become incr
 easingly engaged in making Conviction—not another 'broken prison' film\,
  but rather a 'broken society' film.\n\nConviction takes us on a raw and c
 inematic journey\, while making the impassioned argument that we would do 
 better to create communities that heal and support our most vulnerable\, r
 ather than punish them further.\n
