Film Screening | Torture in Our Name
July 17, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
The Justice Committee invites you to a screening of Torture in Our Name following worship on Sunday, July 17, in the Garth Overlook Room. Snacks will be provided.
In this compelling 35-minute documentary for faith audiences, filmmaker Matthew Gossage showcases the tenacity and resilience of people who have faced the torture of solitary confinement first-hand and are working to end it once and for all.
The film traces the stories of state organizers in Louisiana, New Jersey, and New York, where survivors of solitary and their allies have mounted successful legislative campaigns in their respective states. New Jersey (2019) and New York (2021) were the first two states in the nation to legislate bans on long-term isolated confinement. Learn more about the film at nrcat.org.
