WGBH, Filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, and Devin McCourty of the New England Patriots invite you to a special COLLEGE BEHIND BARS preview and discussion, in partnership with Showcase Cinema de Lux Patriot Place. COLLEGE BEHIND BARS, a four-part documentary film series, explores the power of education through the eyes of incarcerated men and women trying to earn college degrees—and a chance at new beginnings—from one of the country’s most rigorous prison education programs. Join the filmmakers, formerly incarcerated students featured in the film, and members of the New England Patriots for an exclusive screening and conversation. Director Lynn Novick and producer Sarah Botstein have worked for decades with the film's executive producer Ken Burns, including on THE VIETNAM WAR, PROHIBITION, JAZZ, and THE WAR.
The event is being organized in partnership with Showcase Cinema de Lux. This event is free and open to the public, but RSVP is required.
