The screening will be followed by a Q&A at 7:30 PM, featuring De Palazzo, Director of Equality Florida’s Safe and Healthy Schools Project.The film focuses on the intersection of two important and timely topics of social justice — conditions within the U.S. prison system and the injustices that befall transgender people encountering the law. The film looks into why so many transgender people encounter the police, how those encounters often lead to discriminatory treatment, and the inhumane conditions that transgender people all too frequently experience. Told through the words of transgender inmates and experts, and narrated by the Tony award-winning stage, screen and TV actor Brian Stokes Mitchell, Where Justice Ends casts a light on one of the most hidden social injustices in our country. Seating is limited so click https://www.our-fund.org/WJE/to reserve your seat early for this very important documentary.
