We’ve officially launched our NEW documentary, BEYOND BARS, and we’d like you and your community to host a screening for free! Click here to register if you're planning to host a group screening (at least 2 people).

Why screenings matter:

Hosting screenings of BEYOND BARS is crucial for sparking conversations about ending mass incarceration and promoting rehabilitation over punishment. These screenings provide spaces for dialogue, fostering empathy and understanding of the human stories behind the statistics. By educating communities and inspiring action, we can shift paradigms and advocate for a justice system that prioritizes restoration and second chances. Ultimately, hosting these screenings is a vital step towards building a society founded on empathy, rehabilitation, and equal opportunity for all.

More about the film:

BEYOND BARS is as much an examination of our fraying democracy and legacy of white supremacy, as it is a roadmap for how the power of local, grassroots organizing can restore the lives, families, and communities being destroyed by the ongoing cycle of intergenerational incarceration. Former San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin’s story offers a dual lens into the personal trauma of mass incarceration and the tireless battle toward progressive reform within the United States criminal injustice system. Chesa is only 14 months old when condemned to seeing his parents—members of the Weather Underground—behind bars for the entirety of his childhood, a timeline that is interwoven with his historic pursuit to change the system with which he is intimately and painfully linked.
