Beyond Walls – 5 films for prison industrial complex abolition

Tonight!  Friday, August 25th at 7:00 pm

Decarcerate Sacramento invites you to join us for a community film screening and conversation about Beyond Walls, a collection of short documentaries that examine prison abolition from a wide range of perspectives with the hope of inspiring people to imagine and take action toward a world invested in community and not punitive practices.

Beyond Walls is an organizing initiative that uses documentary films to define and amplify what prison industrial complex (PIC) abolition means, and inspires people to imagine and take action toward a world without policing.

Beyond a goal of simply changing hearts and minds, these five short films empower communities with concrete tools and actions they can take to help create a world without police and prisons.

When: Friday, August 25th, 2023 at 7 pm
Where: Southside Park, 2115 6th Street, Sacramento, CA

Please join us for appetizers, dinner, social mixer, film screening, and a brief discussion.

NOTE: This event will be outdoors in a park, and we ask that you please bring your own chair, blanket, or whatever seating you will be most comfortable in! Please reach out to us at decarceratesac@gmail.com with any accessibility needs in advance, and we will do our best to accommodate.

Please register tinyurl.com/DSBeyondWalls.

For those who want to continue building towards a world without prisons and police, there will be resources available on how to get involved and take action in the community, as well as organizations who can answer questions.
