Prisoner Justice - Live Panel with SINCE I BEEN DOWN

Social Justice Film Festival & Institute

Join filmmakers and incarceration rights activists for a discussion of the film Since I Been Down.

In 1993, Washington State voters passed the three-strikes law and sent children considered irredeemable super-predators to prison for life without parole. Influenced by the national drug war frenzy, escalating crime, and gang activity, during the fear-based political policies of the 1980’s and ‘90’s, Tacoma, Washington sacrificed some of its most vulnerable children.Join filmmakers, incarceration rights rights activists, and incarcerated citzens for a discussion of the film Since I Been Down, which spotlights Kimonti Carter and a wide group of incarcerated people who are breaking free from their situation, and creating a model of education to transform their lives, their communities, our prisons, and our own humanity.Moderated by Carla Lee, Deputy Chief of Staff, King County Prosecuting Attorney&#x27;s OfficeSpeakers include:<ul><li>James Bible - Civil Rights Attorney</li><li>Kimonti Carter - Black Prisoners Caucus member and Founding Member of Taking Action and Creating History (TEACH)</li><li>Dan Satterburg - King County Prosecuting Attorney</li><li>Gilda Sheppard - Director and Executive Producer, Since I Been Down</li><li>Tonya Wilson - Reentry Coordinator</li></ul>Find out more about <a href="https://www.socialjusticefilmfestival.org/2020-program/since-i-been-down" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Since I Been Down</a>, including how to view it before the live panel.This event is one of four free filmmaker events occurring as part of the 2020 Social Justice Film Festival.Learn more at <a href="https://www.socialjusticefilmfestival.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.socialjusticefilmfestival.org</a>
