Movie Screening: Just Mercy @ The Homeschool Room
Teens - join us for a screening of Just Mercy in the Homeschool Room. Based on the bestselling book, Just Mercy presents the unforgettable story of Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan) and the case of Walter McMillian (Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx), who was convicted and sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit.
After the film, homeschool parent Caitlyn Obolsky will lead the group in a meaningful discussion about issues brought up in the film that we still face as a nation today. With resources from The Equal Justice Initiative, we'll talk more about the criminal justice system, racial discrimination, and the real people behind the film.
Please note that the movie is PG-13 and is intended for a more mature audience. Attendees must be 13 years or older.
