********************

* Directed by the talented Yoav Potash, Crime After Crime chronicles the experience of Deborah Peagler, a California woman charged with murder in the 1st degree, for her role in the death of her abusive boyfriend. After being threatened with the death penalty, Debbie was sentenced to 25 years to life without ever having a trial. 20 years after she languished in prison, California passed a law allowing incarcerated survivors of abuse to reopen their cases. The documentary follows the story of Debbie and her two pro-bono rookie attorneys, as they encounter the corrupt and politically driven twists and turns of the criminal justice system.

** Following the screening, Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson and Assemblymember Jeffrion Aubry, will speak about their pending legislation: the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (A.7874-A/S.5436). The proposed Act, recently introduced in the NY State Legislature, is the only bill in the country that would allow judges to sentence survivors to significantly lower sentences and Alternative-to-Incarceration programs.

Then, there will be a thought-provoking panel discussion with Joshua Safran, one of Debbie’s attorneys, and NY advocates about the intersection of abuse and women’s incarceration. Advocates will also be on hand to inform you about ways to join the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act Campaign.

This free screening is made possible by the New York Women’s Foundation and is open to the public. However, we are accepting RSVPs prior to the screening.  Please contact Jesenia A. Santana at jsantana at egscf.org or at (646) 315-7626 and include how many seats you are reserving and the name(s) of those attending.  Seats are reserved until 10 minutes before start time.
