They Call Us Monsters is a "searing but sensitive" window into the lives of Antonio, Juan, and Jarad who pass time awaiting trial by participating in a screenwriting class, collaborating on a short film about their lives. The human but unbiased rendering challenges the viewer with difficult questions: what is our responsibility to these kids, do they have the capacity to change, and do they deserve a second chance?
1/29 7:30pm screening followed by Q&A with director Ben Lear
