Private Film Screening + Discussion Circles + Performance
The MultiCultural Center presents an exclusive private screening for the campus community. Watch SONGS FROM THE HOLE, the Netflix Original award-winning visual album-documentary composed in prison. Enjoy live music by the film’s writer, music artist, and main character, JJ’88. Then join discussion circles hosted by Richie Reseda and JJ ‘88, where they will discuss practicing real-life tools to build self-accountability and accountable communities, without relying on shame or punishment. Richie Reseda practices transformative justice in his relationships and daily life. He is a formerly-incarcerated music and film producer, content creator, organizer, and creative director. He produced the feature film, SONGS FROM THE HOLE, following just having co-created and co-hosted the Spotify original podcast Abolition X. While in prison, he started the worker-owned media collective Question Culture, and co-founded Success Stories, the feminist-accountability program chronicled in the CNN documentary, “The Feminist on Cell Block Y.” By way of North Long Beach, JJ ‘88 purposed his original music and life story as the focal point of the multi-award-winning visual album-documentary SONGS FROM THE HOLE, which he wrote and co-produced from prison.
