FRESNO– Screening of LIFE AFTER LIFE at Cal State Fresno

September 14, 2018 @ 10:30 am1:30 pm

Free

FRESNO– Project Rebound, CineCulture, Criminology and the Cross Cultural and Gender Center are bringing the showing of the California Humanities-supported film Life After Life, produced by Tamara Perkins to CSU, Fresno. This film follows the stories of Harrison, Noel, and Chris as they return home from San Quentin State Prison. After spending most of their lives incarcerated, they are forced to reconcile their perception of themselves with a reality they are unprepared for. Each struggles to overcome personal demons and reconstruct their fractured lives. Grappling with day-to-day challenges and striving for success, they work to reconnect with family and provide for themselves for the first time in their adult lives. Told in an unadorned verite style, we experience the truth of their heartaches and triumphs. As their stories unfold over weeks, months and years, the precarious nature of freedom after incarceration in America is revealed. There will be a discussion panel afterwards. Speakers TBA.
