DESCRIPTION:FEB 12 (Tuesday)\nHard Road Home (film)\nSee the hard-hitting, 
 heartbreaking, uplifting, and insightful documentary HARD ROAD HOME at 
 Grand Lake Theater in Oakland 6-9 pm (film 7-8:15 pm), a project of Auburn 
 Seminary.\nThe film explores one of the most difficult issues facing our 
 vast, and growing, prison population: WHAT\nTO DO WHEN YOU GET OUT. HARD 
 ROAD HOME tells a searing and compelling story about some who beat the 
 odds.\n\nJulio Medina, a drug-dealing gang leader when he went to Sing Sing 
 prison, left 12 years later a changed\nman. He had graduated from the only 
 MA program in religion run inside prison walls. He created 
 Exodus\nTransitional Community, an amazing program run by men and women 
 formerly incarcerated and dedicated to breaking the downward cycle of 
 recidivism.\n\nThe film follows two members of Exodus. It shows us the 
 extraordinary energy, resources, and strength of\ncharacter required to 
 save even one person from returning. We see how the dedication of 
 caring\nindividuals can help people beat the odds.\n\nJulio and some of the 
 filmmaking team will be here for the premiere, 6-9 pm Tues Feb 12.\n\nAfter 
 the film, a panel, with Laura Magnani, author of Beyond Prisons: a New 
 Interfaith Paradigm for our\nFailed Prison System 
 (http://www.quakerbooks.org/beyond_prisons.php), Julio, Dorsey Nunn, 
 Marilyn Washington and Shanell Williams will discuss the film and re-entry 
 issues with the audience.\n\nThis is an important opportunity to learn how 
 your community can be part of the solution to the prison\ncrisis in 
 California.\n\nCo-sponsors: Faith Voices for the Common Good the American 
 Friends Service Committee (AFSC), the Howard Thurman Center for 
 Spirituality and Social Justice, and Starr King School for the Ministry.
