Screening Guide

The Screening Guide is structured to help audiences answer Bryan Stevenson and EJI’s call to engage with the hard truths of our past in order to move forward into a different and better future. The goal of this kind of film engagement is to enable groups to:

*Reflect on America's history of racial inequality, and how this history has shaped our personal understandings of race.

*Identify the false narratives from previous historical eras that have legitimized or sustained unjust policies and practices.

*Use this learning to explore how this history can help reveal the false narratives — often unspoken — that shape our culture, policies, and communities today.

*Develop ideas for confronting the history of racial inequality in America and take meaningful steps in the process of truth and reconciliation.
