DESCRIPTION:Friday, May 9,  7 pm\n\nBerkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists 
 Hall,\n1924 Cedar @ Bonita, Berkeley CA\n\nConscientious Projector Film 
 Series presents “Voices from Inside”\n\nThis award-winning documentary 
 follows filmmaker /theater artist Karina Epperlein into a federal women’s 
 prison. She encourages a racially mixed circle of women to find their own 
 voices through poetry and creative expressions, and meets their children on 
 the outside. This film shatters the conventional stereotypes and is an 
 inspiring experiment in breaking the walls with love. California continues 
 the surge in prison building and the number of women in prison has 
 quadrupled, largely due to a sharp rise in lengthy sentences for nonviolent 
 (especially drug-related) crimes. It is estimated that 80% are mothers, and 
 most of them are single mothers of children who are minors. So on this 
 Mother’s Day weekend we are showing a powerful film on women prisoners 
 and their children. Gloria Steinem said: “Every legislature that lavishes 
 money on building prisons and starves programs that rebuild dignity should 
 be put in a room with this unforgettable story of four women’s 
 lives.”\n\nWheelchair accessible. Donations for BFUU Social Justice
