Following the film, you will hear from two people directly impacted by homicide and the death penalty:

  • Niconda Garcia, founder of Change the Rubric
  • Jean Parks, a psychologist and longtime death penalty abolitionist.

This conversation will be moderated by NCCADP’s executive director, Noel Nickle, and will include time for Q&A.

Where: Ransom Fellowship Hall, Warren Wilson Presbyterian Church, 101 Chapel Lane, Swannanoa, NC 28778
