Through our Films and Series programming, Represent Justice is committed to supporting independent films helmed by system-impacted storytellers. The Represent Justice Screenings Circle builds on that commitment as a community-powered distribution model designed to connect justice-focused fiction and nonfiction films with a national network of organizations.
Organizations in the Screenings Circle are trusted community hosts that support films led by system-impacted storytellers by bringing them to local audiences and connecting screenings to dialogue, action, and reform.
The Screenings Circle is powering its first slate of films, featuring four different storytelling styles that examine the history, current breakthroughs, and envision the future of movements to end mass incarceration.
Organizations are invited to join this national community committed to amplifying system-impacted storytellers and transforming public understanding of incarceration in their hometown.
