The Center for Constitutional Rights is proud to present By Design, our Spring/Summer 2022 Freedom Flicks Film Series. This season tells a story of a carceral society and a criminal legal system that is cruel, unjust, and racist, by design. With films exploring the harsh realities of immigration detention and the racist legacy of Jim Crow, audiences will be invited to consider the shared roots of these systems of confinement and social control. Join us for evenings of storytelling by those most impacted by these systems, and for discussions featuring the filmmakers, activists, and members of the Center for Constitutional Rights staff. Our hope is that in recognizing these oppressive systems as not broken, but rather designed to dehumanize, criminalize and exclude marginalized communities, we will demand an end to these systems and collectively commit to building life-giving institutions of safety for all.
