DocNight – “True Justice”: Free Film Screening and Discussion
6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21 Community Hall
Join The Portico, Abe Brown Ministries and the Hillsborough Organization for Progress and Equality for this free sceening and discussion of this timely documentary film addressing social and criminal justice in America.
“True Justice” examines the personal journey of Bryan Stevenson, a public defender in Alabama and director of the Equal Justice Initiative, who is working to bring justice to the incarcerated, wrongfully convicted and disadvantaged.
This film weaves together Stevenson’s own story, those of his clients, and a history of injustice and complicity by our justice system to reveal how a narrative of racial inequality emerged in this country. Bryan challenges us to seek the truth, confront it, and work towards reconciliation.
