The Represent Justice Ambassador Program is a fellowship that equips formerly incarcerated leaders, activists and advocates with the creative and technical skills to produce, message test, and nationally distribute short films for systemic change.

Within the program's 2024 cohort of formerly incarcerated storytellers, three short films capture the power of Dignity for System-Impacted Individuals.

Power of the Pen highlights the transformative role of writing as a tool for healing, advocacy, and reclaiming one’s narrative after incarceration. Chasing Redemption follows individuals who were once sentenced to life without parole as they navigate their newfound freedom and the journey toward personal and communal restoration. Breaking Barriers examines the struggles and triumphs of formerly incarcerated students at UC Berkeley, emphasizing the role of education in breaking cycles of incarceration and opening doors to new opportunities.

Together, these films demonstrate that whether through words, education, or the pursuit of redemption, individuals impacted by the carceral system continue to defy expectations, reclaim their agency, and inspire systemic change.
