A thought-provoking film screening and panel discussion is taking place this Thursday, December 15, at the Phoenix Center for the Arts.
Beginning at 6:30 pm, Incarcerating US will generate an evening of critical conversation surrounding the many issues and debates over mass incarceration in the United States.

Following the film, a moderated panel discussion will delve into the fascinating topic and the need for reform, and the event will wrap up with a Q & A session with the audience, flim producer and panel. In addition to Vittorio, panelists will include Joel Feinman, Sue Ellen Allen, Khalil Rushdan, Heather Hamel and Daniel R. Ortega.
This event is organized and hosted by Reinventing Reentry, a non-profit based in Arizona aiming to encourage reform that will make it easier for former prisoners to succeed in their second chance at life.
