DESCRIPTION:January 29, 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm screenings\n\nKPFA Radio 94.1FM and 
 International House, UC Berkeley, present: \n\nTHE THROWAWAYS\nAn award 
 winning documentary film\nWith Bhawin Suchak  (Director/Producer) & Ira 
 McKinley (ex-felon & homeless filmmaker)\n\nTickets: 800-838-3006 or at 
 independent bookstores,  student discount at door, KPFA benefit \n\nThe 
 Throwaways is a timely and provocative look at the impact of mass 
 incarceration and police brutality on black men in America. Told through 
 the eyes of homeless ex-felon Ira McKinley, the film documents his struggle 
 to bring positive changes to his community in inner-city Albany, NY. As he 
 strives to give voice to the people on the streets fighting for survival, 
 McKinley confronts the stigma of being formerly incarcerated.  More than an 
 illumination of marginalized people in trouble, this film is a call to 
 action, a narrative of engaging in the fight for justice.\n\n"The 
 Throwaways courageously explores the most pressing racial justice issue of 
 our time: the mass incarceration and profiling of poor people of 
 color."\n-Michelle Alexander, author, The New Jim Crow\n\nFeatured on
