Offering a critical analysis of the family policing system, the film follows two Black mothers, Alexis and Kellie, as they fight to reunite with their children after they were forcibly separated in Durham, North Carolina. After the screening, a panel conversation will further explore the trauma of family separation and the work of advocates fighting to keep families together through storytelling, court intervention, and grassroots mobilization.
Appetizers and refreshments will be served and Marcus Books will host a sale of titles from law professor, activist, author and Breaking Silos keynote speaker Dorothy Roberts.
