Across America a powerful movement has risen, denouncing the violence and inhumanity of our prison system. How can we confront the system and the harm it perpetuates — especially to men?

Join us on Friday, March 25 as we explore this question in the context of a film screening and public conversation about the prison system and masculine healing.

We'll begin with a free screening of The Work, the acclaimed documentary detailing a four-day intensive group therapy process in Folsom County Prison. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the South by SouthWest film festival, the film highlights the devastating effects of both the American prison system and patriarchal norms.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with film's director, Gethin Aldous, and organizers supporting conversations and organizations of prison reform and masculine healing.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Film starts at 7:00pm.
Seating is limited.

"The Work carries a profound, implicit point about a culture that encourages men to bottle up what they feel, then condemns them after those emotions express themselves in violent, destructive ways." (Onion AV Club)
