Growing up, Kristal watched nearly every man in her life disappear to prison. She channeled that struggle into keeping families connected, both as a social worker and with her van service that drives families to visit loved ones in far-off prisons. But when Kristal’s dad and brother return to Philly, her happiness meets the realization that release doesn’t always mean freedom.

Join us on April 1 for a film screening of “A Woman on the Outside,” a tender portrait of one family striving to love in the face of a system built to break them.

Directors Zara Katz and Lisa Riordan Seville and protagonist Kristal Bush will begin at 5pm with a Be The Media! workshop on “Participatory Design in Journalistic Process.” At 6:30pm there will be a brief opening reception for the exhibition “Women on the Outside.” Then at 7pm will be the film screening of “A Woman on the Outside” followed by a panel discussion that includes Jose Di Lenola and TeAna Taylor of RAPP.
