SPECIAL PUBLIC DEFENDER SCREENING EVENT AT
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Join us on January 9, 2025 at 5:30pm for a two-part event featuring an Interactive Listening Workshop, Film Screening, and Panel Discussion. Held at the stunning Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, just steps from the U.S. Capitol, this evening promises inspiration and connection with an iconic setting.
Kick off the night with a transformative, 60-minute interactive listening workshop led by Peoplehood —a trailblazing company dedicated to relational health and meaningful connection. Through guided breathing exercises and dialogue, you'll gain practical tools to navigate differences, build stronger relationships, and foster deeper connections. Peoplehood provides a safe and supportive space that emphasizes empathy and understanding—not to seek agreement, but to bridge divides and find clarity in even the toughest conversations.
The second part of the evening features a 7:00pm screening of Public Defender, the award-winning documentary that has sparked conversations nationwide. Following the film, join a thought-provoking panel discussion with Emmy Award winning Executive Producer Richard Schiff (The West Wing, The Good Doctor), the filmmakers, and key participants as they delve into the film’s themes and their resonance with today’s pressing challenges.
We invite you to experience the full program, but space is limited. Space is limited so please RSVP and let us know which portions you plan to attend so we can accommodate everyone!
