“Broken On All Sides –Restore,Rebuild, Reclaim After the War on Drugs ”

Broken On All Sides is an award-winning documentary that provides an important and often untold history on the causes of mass incarceration and places criminal justice under a racial justice lens. Michelle Alexander, author of the New York Times Best Seller "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness”, is featured in the film. 

"Broken On All Sides 2" will be a collaborative discussion that will cover all aspects of the "wholeness" formula for preparing our returning citizens for re-entry into our communities as productive and thriving members and the underlying issues that must be addressed for prevention.
