Authority, produced in collaboration with Witness (http://www.witness.org).

The California Youth Authority (CYA) is notorious as the most abusive juvenile
justice system in the nation. See exclusive interviews with former wards, parents,
advocates and activists about the human rights crisis in CYA -- and about the
movement to end this crisis and revolutionize juvenile justice in California.

screening.
