Come see our new 30-minute, grassroots-driven documentary about the California Youth
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.

* A panel discussion with filmmakers, former wards and parents will follow the
screening.

* Suggested donation: $5 - $10 (no one turned away for lack of funds)
