Virtual Documentary Screening: Free CeCe!

Tuesday, October 06, 2020 - 7:30 p.m.

Online

 Tuesday, October 6 @ 7:30pm

 CeCe McDonald, a Black trans woman, was jailed in a men’s prison for 19 months after defending herself against men who assaulted and harassed her and her friends one night in 2011. One of the men who was harassing them -- who had sliced CeCe’s face with a beer bottle -- was killed. Originally facing up to 40 years with charges of second-degree murder, CeCe took a plea deal and was sentenced to 41 months. Free CeCe, co-produced by Laverne Cox, is an exploration of how CeCe and other trans people of color across the country are treated disproportionately in the justice system, and what they're doing to fight back. Tune in for a virtual screening followed by a discussion on themes presented in the film.
