"Juvies" comes to Detroit
www.juvies.net
DETROIT – On Tuesday, February 15, 2005, at 5:30 p.m., Project: A.R.T., in collaboration with Chance Films and Alternatives For Girls (AFG), will present a FREE screening of the Chance Films documentary “Juvies.” The FREE screening will take place at the Alternatives For Girls’ Ford Community Room located at 903 W. Grand Blvd. in Detroit.
“Juvies” is a documentary narrated by screen actor, Mark Wahlberg with a poetry reading by rap artist, Mos Def. The film explores the “increasingly important issue of prosecuting juveniles as adults and incarcerating them in adult facilities.”
The purpose of this screening is to “reach as many people as possible in order to educate them about the current juvenile justice system and the need for reform.”
Project: A.R.T. has visited the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Facility on a bi-weekly basis since July 2004 to facilitate their ZigiDee BooM Hip Hop Workshops with efforts to instruct student on the business and entrepreneurial aspects of the Hip Hop industry. Additionally, Project: A.R.T. conducts the “That’s What’s Up” Substance Abuse Prevention Tour at the Catherine C. Blackwell Institute on Detroit’s eastside.
“Project: A.R.T.’s mission is to help decrease juvenile delinquency,” said Sista Sara, Program Coordinator for the youth organization. “We are happy to have the option to work locally with Alternatives For Girls and nationally with Chance Films. This offers a great opportunity to get the word out to student and their parents about some of the problems within the juvenile justice system.”
“Alternatives For Girls (AFG) is concerned about the extent to which minors are being waived into, and incarcerated in, the adult correctional system,” said Amanda L. Good, CEO of AFG. “Our experience working with homeless and high-risk girls and young women has taught us that the most effective interventions, in most cases, involve support for education, for finding and sustaining employment at a living wage, and for developing a positive support network in the community. Most offending youth can benefit from treatment and community-based services. Incarceration in an adult facility robs our youth of those opportunities.”
To schedule interviews, call the numbers listed above.
