Free to Learn – Film Preview and Panel Discussion: College Behind Bars

This event, hosted by Santa Fe’s Justice Club, will include a one-hour film screening of parts of Ken Burns’ documentary series, “College Behind Bars,” which tells the story of a small group of incarcerated men and women struggling to earn college degrees and turn their lives around in one of the most rigorous and effective prison education programs in the United States—the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI).

Following viewing of the film, there will be a moderated panel discussion, along with audience Q&A.
