Beyond Documentary Screening, Panel Discussion & Decarceration Organization Fair
Join community members at the University of Michigan for a free decarceration organization fair followed by a screening of Beyond and a panel discussion.
Beyond, Asia Johnson’s first co-directed and co-produced feature-length film, follows a group of incarcerated men at Sing Sing prison as they organize and prepare for a TED-style event featuring personal narratives and ideas for changing the prison system.
Schedule:
Organization setup: 3:30 p.m.
Decarceration Organization Fair: 4:00–5:00 p.m.
Documentary screening and panel discussion: 5:00 p.m.
The panel will include Asia Johnson; co-producer and co-director Michael Kleiman; and Micheal Tineo, who is featured in the film and is now doing transformative decarceral work in New York City. The event will also celebrate the eighth anniversary of Asia Johnson’s homecoming from Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility.
This event is free and open to University of Michigan students, faculty and staff, as well as members of the broader community.
