We Are Witnesses

The American criminal justice system consists of 2.2 million people behind bars, plus tens of millions of family members, corrections and police officers, parolees, victims of crime, judges, prosecutors and defenders. In We Are Witnesses, we hear their stories. This event featured a screening of 4 of the short films in the We are Witnesses series, followed by a panel discussion and reception.

Speakers included Jenny Carchman (director), Ismael Nazario (Fortune Society), Scott Hechinger (Brooklyn Defender Services), Kathy Boudin (Center for Justice at Columbia).
