"A society should be judged not by how it treats its outstanding citizens but by how it treats its criminals." --Fyodor Dostoevsky
Screening in conjunction with the exhibition Undoing Time: Art and Histories of Incarceration, and borrowing its title, Undoing Time: Cinema and Histories of Incarceration shows how independent filmmakers have used different approaches to document and interrogate North America's prison industrial complex. Including historical and contemporary documentaries, essay films, and works of fiction, this series exposes the inherent racism and inhumanity of the criminal justice system while also celebrating courageous voices and acts of resistance from inside and outside of prison walls.
