Classroom 4
CLASSROOM 4 is the story of an award-winning history professor leading a group of students, half incarcerated and half free, in a class titled THE HISTORY OF CRIME AND PUNISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES. Through exploring concepts in the course including masculinity, prison abolition and mercy, the work challenges the invisibility of incarcerated people, reveals the consequences of mass imprisonment for everyone and emphasizes the importance of these programs to bring together the incarcerated and free to meet and know one another.
We Exist
Dunsmuir bound musician, Sweet Bean Selene, talks about life as a hobo and how its female, trans, and queer community need to survive to become elders.
A Mile and a Half
The border between North Dakota and Minnesota is physically a small river but legislatively a large canyon. Through the voices of clinic leadership, staff, and escorts, we hear the story of the Red River Women's Clinic, the only clinic in the state of North Dakota providing abortion services before the Dobbs decision, when it was forced to close. This is the story of a successful community resistance and a collective effort that resulted in no gap in abortion services when the clinic moved a mile and a half into the state of Minnesota.
