Admission is free to the public. The UUSD Social and Environmental Justice Committee is sponsoring the screening.

“Justice For All: The Documentary” delves into the minds of juvenile offenders who commit minor crimes, and examines the system to rehabilitate youths. The film points out that too often, youths “graduate” from the juvenile justice system and matriculate into adult prisons. The documentary shows how children and their families are affected by the juvenile justice system when they are sentenced to lengthy time in penal facilities. The film identifies problems that exist in the juvenile system and offers some solutions.
