RYSE Presents: Juries for Justice Screening of JUDGING JURIES FILM
Juries for Justice Screening of JUDGING JURIES FILM - THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2024 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
RYSE 3939 BISSELL AVENUERICHMONDUNITED STATES (MAP)
The short film "Judging Juries" directed by Abby Ginzberg, emphasizes the importance of diversity in jury trials for people of color, and the challenges preventing their fair representation.
The film addresses barriers such as jurors receiving minimal financial compensation, in some states as low as $5 per day, which can disproportionately affect certain individuals' ability to serve. Additionally, it explores how attorneys use strategies to indirectly exclude people of color from jury participation.
We invite you to join us at the RYSE Center for a free screening and panel discussion featuring guests District Attorney Diana Becton, Public Defender Ellen McDonnell, Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte, and Dr. Kerby Lynch who will engage in conversation to examine how these issues affect our justice system and explore community-based solutions.
