Ahead of its nationwide theatrical release, Muncie will be one of 20 cities (and the only in Indiana) to early screen The First Step, a 90-minute documentary film that follows political commentator Van Jones and the bipartisan coalition who fought to pass landmark criminal justice reform in 2018 (The First Step Act), which has allowed more than 20,000 people to come home from federal prisons. The first screening opened in late-February in New York City and will conclude in May in Virginia.
Immediately following the Muncie screening on March 18th at Muncie Civic Theatre, The Facing Project co-founder and president, J.R. Jamison, will moderate an interactive local panel discussion on the themes of the film that include addiction, recovery, reentry, and criminal justice reform.
Local panelists will include:
- Jeff Hansard, Chief Probation Officer, Delaware County Probation;
- WaTasha Barnes Griffin, CEO, YWCA of Central Indiana;
- Dr. Ryan P. Brown, Medical Director of Addiction Services, IU Health East-Central Region;
- Kellie Arrowood, Community Member;
