Black Caucus Independent Film Juried Selections


A MUST SEE FOR ALL IN DC WHO CARE ABOUT KIDS

I had the distinct privilege and honor of being invited by my client, the Director of the Safe Streets Foundation, Dennis Sobin, who is very involved in racial equality issues in the justice system across America as the Director of a Foundation (http://www.prisonsfoundation.org/) that runs a gallery of works produced by inmates throughout the country, to the juried independent film segment of the Black Caucus today at the DC Convention Center to view two films, and what is the most significant documentary on Juvenile Justice to hit the screens. JUSTICE FOR ALL is absolutely without question a Must See for anyone interested in racial issues in the justice system in this country (it touches on what is going on in England briefly as well in this area comparatively) pertaining to the youth trapped in the juvenile justice system, and how they are warehoused with and treated as adults many places (states) still crying out for federal reform. This is an incredibly well researched piece of reporting.

Everyone in the Justice Dept. should see it. Obama should have a private screening with policymakers. It should be mandatory viewing in all law schools. The ACS should show it.

Justice for All is on DVD and may be ordered directly from http://www.urbanministries.com/

We have to look particularly hard now at the private prison system particularly in Florida. Beyond Scary.
