A Second Look: When Justice Meets Hope and Redemption Screening

Reserve your seat today! This special film screening, hosted by the ACLU of Maryland alongside our partners at the Maryland Second Look Coalition and Family Support Network (FSN), will bring together community members for an afternoon of storytelling and conversation about life without parole sentences, second chances, and the families and communities directly impacted by Maryland's sentencing laws. In A Second Look, you'll hear directly from people impacted by life without parole sentences and why people serving these sentences should not be left behind. The screening will be followed by a Q&A featuring people from the documentary, directly impacted people, and advocates working to create meaningful opportunities for second chances in Maryland.
