Circle Up: A documentary screening and talk back event |
After the brutal slaying of her teenage son, Janet Connors reaches out to her son's killer to offer a chance at forgiveness. Together, they team up with a group of mothers of murdered children–including Clarissa Turner–to help young people in their community break the chain of violence and revenge.
Circle Up is a call to action to reframe how crime and punishment is approached through the lens of restorative practices, compassion, and love.
Restorative practices are grounded in philosophies and frameworks developed by indigenous cultures around the world.
Join us Friday, September 27 at 4:30 p.m. for a screening and talk back with Janet Connors and Clarissa Turner.
Food will be available after the screening.
