[CU-Movies] Recommended Movie 1/30 @ Art Theater

[jencart]

-------------------------------------------------------------- From Friends at ART Theatre:
>>
>> I wanted to inform you about a very important
>> event coming to our area, that I think you might be
>> interested in. Former Illinois Governor George Ryan and filmmaker
>> Kirsten Johnson will be in town to present a special
>> screening of Johnson's controversial film, "Deadline", which
>> premiered this year at Sundance Film Festival. "Deadline"
>> follows Ryan's decision to grant blanket clemency to all 167
>> people on death row in Illinois, commuting their sentences to
>> life without parole. It also is a compelling look inside
>> America's prisons, highlighting one man's unlikely and
>> historic actions against the system. This film will only
>> screen once in our area, and will be followed by a question
>> and answer session with former Governor Ryan and Ms. Johnson.
>> The film will screen at Boardman's Art Theatre on January
>> 30th at 4:30pm. Tickets are already on sale, and you can
>> purchase them online for a $2 discount.
>>
>> "DEADLINE"
>> *This film has not been rated.
>>
>> What would you do if you discovered that 13 people slated for
>> execution had been found innocent? That was exactly the
>> question that Illinois Governor George Ryan faced in his
>> final days in office. He alone was left to decide whether 167
>> death row inmates should live or die. In the riveting
>> countdown to Ryan's decision, "Deadline" details the gripping
>> drama of the state's clemency hearings. Documented as the
>> events unfold, "Deadline" is a compelling look inside
>> America's prisons, highlighting one man's unlikely and
>> historic actions against the system.
>>
>> Special Video Presentation at Boardman's Art Theatre
