District of Second Chances, a documentary produced by Families for Justice Reform, takes viewers on an emotional journey through the lives of Anthony "Pete" Petty, Gene Downing, and Colie "Shaka" Levar Long: three men from Washington, DC, who were sentenced to life in prison during the 1990s but are now presented with a chance for freedom and a fresh start. The film brings to light the real-life impact of "second chance" legislation through the eyes of those it directly affects.
The film will be followed by a discussion and is free and open to public. Brooks Memorial Library is located at 224 Main St. in Brattleboro and is accessible to people in wheelchairs. For more information, contact Brooks Memorial Library at 802.254.5290 or visit www.brookslibraryvt.org.
