Hauser 104, Harvard Law School
Join the Child Advocacy Program (CAP) for our final film event of the year. We are screening the riveting documentary, “Juvies,” narrated by acclaimed actor Mark Wahlberg with poetry read by Mos Def. Learn about the trend in our legal system of trying juveniles in adult criminal court from those most closely impacted by it – the juveniles in our adult prisons. Follow the journey of twelve children behind bars as they reflect on the troubled childhoods that led them to where they are now and as they come to terms with life behind bars.
Opening remarks by Professor Bartholet, CAP's Faculty Director. Following the film there will be a brief discussion about the film led by Lecturer on Law Dave Poole and Jessica Budnitz, as well as time for questions about CAP. For more about the film, see http://www.juvies.net/ .
