The 12th season of the Woodstock Film & Discussion Series continues with a screening of The Interview, a short film exposing the injustices of the NY State parole system. The film will be followed by a moderated panel discussion with impacted people, both local and from the film. New York State has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world’s democracies. Despite efforts to reduce mass incarceration, the number of older people in our prisons is rising rapidly. The film features individuals who faced multiple parole denials despite having transformed their lives while behind bars many years earlier.
Watch, listen and find out about the People’s Campaign for Parole Justice working to promote fair and meaningful release opportunities. Co-presented by RAPP (Release Aging People in Prison), Woodstock Transition, Woodstock Land Conservancy and Woodstock Jewish Congregation. The events is free and open to all ages.
This will be a hybrid event with options to join both in person and on Zoom. If you would like to attend remotely, via Zoom, please register HERE to receive access link
