Join us for a stimulating evening at the Church of Our Saviour in Brookline, MA as we present our documentary: Holding Up The Sky. This deeply moving story about the lives of two formerly incarcerated men fills us with hope and inspiration— and presents a strong case for re-examining assumptions about race and rehabilitation.
Our event presents an opportunity for the filmmakers to gain feedback from you— our audience prior to final editing of this film. A goal of the project is to engage with Americans— to present a case for creating changes in our criminal justice system that will benefit all of us. Your voices and support are critical, and will be reflected in the credits. This film will be aired nationally and seen in pubic venues and educational settings— with your help.
In May 2021, the Massachusetts State House Criminal Justice Reform Caucus along with Rep. Christine Barber and Sen. Patricia Jehlen hosted a screening of “Holding Up the Sky.”
A panel discussion followed, moderated by David Harris, managing director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice at Harvard Law School. The screening and discussion was summarized by Sen. James B. Eldridge.
We are grateful for the generous support of you, our individual donors, and to Bikes Not Bombs, Massachusetts Cultural Council, Emerson College, Mass Humanities, and the Center for Independent Documentary.
