Dear Carol Ammons,

<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Vyj70fMpzaQJsr1R%2BSEXkWH5zNDUCvs%2B>

Did you know you can help keep families connected to their loved ones in
prison by going to the movie theater? It’s true! Starting October 12th
organize your friends and family to go watch *Middle of
Nowhere*.<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=95ylbm4VsqxR2cQrewZ%2F%2BWH5zNDUCvs%2B>

*Middle of Nowhere* is
an<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=MyeUtfkfdAefeP8X4BHU6mH5zNDUCvs%2B>
“elegant
and emotional drama chronicling a woman’s separation from her incarcerated
husband and her journey to maintain her marriage and her
identity.”<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=wJBWAXCHoZr6q%2BvQFtZRd2H5zNDUCvs%2B>The
film’s director, Ava DuVernay, became the first African American woman
to win Best Director award at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

Struggling to stay connected is a central theme for the film. For many
prisoners' families that connection can only be maintained through an
expensive phone call. That’s why *Middle of Nowhere* is partnering with the
national Campaign

an online petition that urges the Federal Communications Commission to
regulate this corporate abuse.

By showing support for the film you're not only championing independent
female filmmakers of color, but you're making media that matters a part of
the national (and international) conversation.   With the success of films
like these, we send a message to Hollywood that the public wants to see
more films that highlight the issues and concerns of our communities.

Let us know if you plan to see the
film<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=w6s1JDMgCEuHFrQjx8RuB2H5zNDUCvs%2B>,
and how you can help us change history and lower the cost of prison phone
calls.

Check out the list below for the date, cities, and location near you.

In Solidarity,

Steven Renderos
