REFLECTIONS FOR FREEDOM

BAY-Peace & Back to the Start invites you to Reflections for Freedom! A Dual-film screening featuring Reflections for Freedom and Free Our Kids. At the core of these films are the raw, deeply personal stories and poetry from currently and formerly incarcerated individuals about overcoming and growing up at the intersection of poverty, violence, and systemic racism. Our intergenerational panel discussion will bring our communities together to reflect on how investments in youth, art and culture hold the keys to a freer future, where cycles of systemic harm and violence cease to exist. We’ll hear directly from individuals whose lived experiences challenge dominant narratives and deepen our understanding of how cycles of harm take root and how they can be transformed.
