TRUE JUSTICE: BRYAN STEVENSON’S FIGHT FOR EQUALITY examines the personal journey of Bryan Stevenson, a public defender in Alabama and director of the Equal Justice Initiative, who is working to bring justice to the incarcerated, wrongfully convicted and disadvantaged. This film weaves together Stevenson’s own story, those of his clients, and a history of injustice and complicity by our justice system to reveal how a narrative of racial inequality emerged in this country. Bryan challenges us to seek the truth, confront it, and work towards reconciliation.

Pre-film Reflection 
Please share your responses with Ashley either by hand or digitally:
  1.  When you think about the criminal justice system in America, what comes to mind?
  2. How would you describe the ways in which race has shaped America?
  3. How does your identity inform your understanding or experience of race in America? ​
