DESCRIPTION:Free Document Film Screening of "Reimagining Safety."  Filmmaker Matthew 
 Solomon challenges the narrative that more policing and incarceration make 
 us safer. He brings together experts to expose the harm caused by 
 over-militarization, systemic bias, and punitive justice. \n\nDoors open at 
 5:00 pm. Film starts at 5:30 pm and is followed by a panel discussion and 
 Q&A with filmmaker/director Matthew Solomon. The film's runtime is 83 
 minutes.\n\nShot on iPhone, the film shows how resources and care-based 
 interventions reduce crime while improving societal conditions. Since its 
 February 2023 release on streaming services, "Reimagining Safety" has been 
 screened over 70 times across the US and has been seen by over 4000 people 
 at community impact screenings hosted by more than 100 coalition 
 organizations. The film was named Best Film by Evident Change's Media for a 
 Just Society Award, Best Documentary Feature at the Los Angeles Independent 
 Film Festival, Best Cinematography at The People's Film Festival in Harlem, 
 and has received a powerful endorsement by The Black Panther Party WA who 
 has added it to their political education curriculum.\n\nThis film event 
 offers a thought-provoking conversation on the urgent need for a more 
 humane approach to public safety.\n
