Gilda Sheppard’s film Since I Been Down brings to life the praxis of abolition within but not confined by prison walls. To be down, as this film shows, is not just to be locked up but to bear the power of knowledge and transformation in ways that in the words of a teacher/student “transcends this cage.”

“The more that we begin to educate ourselves, the more empowered we become, the less manipulated we can be, the less oppressed we can be.” —Kimonti Carter

There will be light refreshments before the film and community discussion following the screening. Watch trailer HERE
