Screen Justice: Film and Discussion Series

Reckless Indifference

The 1996 death of Jimmy Farris in a ritzy Los Angeles suburb brought an energetic response from the local District Attorney. The resulting trial ended with sentences of life imprisonment without parole for all four surviving participants even though only one of the four actually committed the murder. The film questions the harsh sentences and asks whether the D.A. went full-throttle because of a series of failures (notably the O.J. Simpson debacle). The film received The International Press Academy's Golden Satellite Award for Outstanding Feature Documentary. (2000, 94 mins).

The film will be preceded by a Master Class with Academy Award nominated director William Gazecki from 5:00 - 5:45 pm. Seating for the class is limited. If you would like to attend please email devans-pritchardudc.edu.

The screening will be followed by Q&A with William Gazecki.

"A Broken System... Crying Out for Justice"
Our nation is the only industrialized country that still uses the death penalty. It incarcerates more of its population than any other nation in the world. In some states more money is spent on prisons than higher education. One out of three black men can expect to go to prison in their lifetime. Join the Campaign to End the Death Penalty to discuss what activists can do to fight against this criminal injustice system.

Featured Speakers:
BARBARA BECNEL: Author, journalist, friend and advocate of Stan Tookie Williams, who was executed by the state of California in December, 2005.
JAY NICKERSON: Capitol litigator and expert on lethal injection; longtime activist against the death penalty.

Girl Trouble is an intimate look at the compelling personal stories of three teenagers entangled in San Francisco's juvenile justice system.

As the girls confront seemingly impossible problems and pivotal decisions, the Center’s 22-year-old executive director, Lateefah Simon, is often their only support and mentor.

In the Tall Grass tells the story of Rwanda’s search for redemption after genocide as the country sits down to reckon with the horror in a network of informal, community courts called gacaca. With unprecedented access, In the Tall Grass explores universal themes of justice in post-conflict societies and the challenges countries like Rwanda face in attempting the transition from a violent past to peaceful future. Through the experiences of Joanita and Anastase, the film illustrate how the genocide and the ideology the propelled it continue to play a dangerous and destabilizing role in the country that if left unaddressed, threaten to one day plunge Rwanda back into chaos.

Larry v. Lockney

A west Texas town begins mandatory drug testing of their sixth through 12th graders. One man, Larry Tannahill, says, "No, not my son." Standing alone by his moral decision that cost him job and home, the third-generation cotton farmer asks the ACLU to help fight for his son's Fourth Amendment rights–pitting one man against his neighbors in a historic legal case study on the Bill of Rights. (2002: 56 min.)

Screening followed by Q & A with the ACLU's Graham Boyd, producer Jim Schermbeck, and Larry Tannahill himself!
