This fall, the John C. Campbell Folk School will be partnering with South Arts to host five live virtual film screenings that allow our community to connect through thematic workshops, Q&As with filmmakers, and more. If you can’t make it to a live film screening or want to watch at your own pace, don’t worry. Films are available to watch up to four days after their screen date through Eventive, so you won’t miss out on viewing. All screenings and Q&As will be at 7:00 p.m. and free to viewers. For more information on how to register for a screening, visit: https://blog.folkschool.org/2021/08/24/join-us-for-south-arts-southern-circuit-film-screenings-fall-2021/ Join us for our live virtual screening of Not Going Quietly on Tuesday, October 26, followed by a Q&A with filmmakers on Wednesday, October 27. And So I Stayed Synopsis: And So I Stayed is an award-winning documentary about survivors of abuse fighting for their lives and spending years behind bars. These women paid a steep price with long prison sentences, lost time with loved ones, and painful memories. Activist and formerly incarcerated survivor Kim Dadou Brown, who met her wife while incarcerated, is a driving force in the passage of New York’s Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA), a new law meant to prevent survivors from receiving harsh prison sentences for their acts of survival. Nikki Addimando, a mother of two young children, suffered the consequences when a judge didn’t follow the law’s guidelines. Tanisha Davis, a single mother who was ripped away from her son in 2013, is hopeful the new law is her way out of a harsh prison sentence. This film is made for and by survivors. For them/us to feel heard, seen, and believed.
