Screening of the Strike and Panel/Discussion - bit.ly/thestrike-nov17

Center for Human Rights & Constitutional Law and Prison Law Office invite you to a free screening at the Frida Cinema of the award-winning feature documentary film The Strike, which tells the story of a generation of California men who endured decades of solitary confinement in California’s notorious supermax Pelican Bay State Prison. Against all odds, they launched the largest hunger strike in U.S. history and forced the prison to reduce its use of mass-scale solitary confinement.  

Following the film, there will be a panel discussion with advocates and solitary survivors who were part of the hunger strike in Pelican Bay, Jack L. Morris, and Michael Saavedra; attorney Jules Lobel, lead counsel on Ashker v. Governor of California, a federal class action lawsuit challenging the practice of solitary confinement at Pelican Bay; and Directors of The Strike Lucas Guilkey and JoeBill Muñoz. Moderated by the co-founder of California Families Against Solitary Confinement, Dolores Canales.
