Film Screening at The School House Theater - Fish: A Memoir of a Boy in a Man's Prison

By 21 years old, T.J. Parsell had spent nearly a quarter of his life in prison; by 30 he'd put himself through college and was a successful software executive; at 40 he became a human rights activist, a published author, and one of the nation's leading advocates to end prisoner rape. Now he's at NYU Graduate Film School, where he's making his award-winning book, Fish: A Memoir of a Boy in a Man's Prison (Da Capo Press, 2007), into a feature length film. T.J. will show three short films, two of which are adaptations of his story, along with a documentary-short, which explores the root causes of crime and intergenerational incarceration.

The audience is encouraged to stay afterward when a Talk Back Q&A with T.J. Parsell will take place.

Tickets are $10.00
