What a wonderful idea! I think this should be done by advocacy groups around the country. In Georgia, the Greater Gwinnett Reentry Alliance did a screening of the Brian Banks movie & the Southern Poverty Law Center screened Just Mercy in Atlanta. These events need to happen to bring public awareness to the other side of criminal convictions & to start a conversation.

It's been too long that people just accepted situations without asking is it just, is it fair & is it making us safer.
