The 60-minute screening will include popcorn and will be followed by a 30-minute facilitated discussion by restorative justice practitioner Nikesha Tilton.

-Engage students and community members in reimagining safety, accountability, restoration, and justice in Alabama;
-Identify how faith communities, universities, community organizations, and residents can help shape the future;
-Connect the conversation to continued action through Faith in Action’s Peoples’ Agenda and through UNA’s Restorative Justice Lab.
