You are cordially invited to attend The 23rd Oakland International Film Festival on September 13th at Northeastern University(formally Mill’s College) at 2:30 p.m., for a special film screening and discussion centered around preventing violence in Oakland and the world around. We will showcase two films. The short film : “Grieving Brothers” directed by Jere’Miah MCGhee folllowed by the Award-Winning feature documentary “Crime After Crime” directed by Yoav Potash. After the film screening’s, we will host a question and answer/ panel session with the filmmakers and community leaders here in the City of Oakland working to end violence in Oakland. <h4>Featured Films</h4>1. Grieving Brothers (7 minutes, 51 seconds)A story about two brothers coping with the loss of a loved one. Their own grief has forced them to turn on each other in a moment of need.2. Crime After Crime (93 minutes)The story of the battle to free Debbie Peagler, an incarcerated survivor of brutal domestic violence. Over 20 years in prison cannot crush the spirit of this determined African-American woman, despite the injustices she has experienced, first at the hands of a duplicitous boyfriend who beat her and forced her into prostitution, and later by prosecutors who cornered her into a life behind bars for her connection to the murder of her abuser. Her story takes an unexpected turn two decades later when a pair of rookie land-use attorneys cut their teeth on her case -- and attract global attention to the troubled intersection.
