The Prison in Twelve Landscapes at Milwaukee Film Festival

September 18, 2016

Justseeds is a community partner with the Milwaukee Film Festival again this year. We are partnering with the film The Prison in Twelve Landscapes, which I am really looking forward to watching. The festival is always so great and a nice opportunity to spend time in Milwaukee’s historic theaters.

THE PRISON IN TWELVE LANDSCAPES Film description:
More people are imprisoned in the United States at this moment than in any other time or place in history, yet the prison itself has never felt further away or more out of sight. THE PRISON IN TWELVE LANDSCAPES is a film about the prison in which we never see a penitentiary. Instead, the film unfolds as a cinematic journey through a series of landscapes across the USA where prisons do work and affect lives, from a California mountainside where female prisoners fight raging wildfires, to a Bronx warehouse full of goods destined for the state correctional system, to an Appalachian coal town betting its future on the promise of prison jobs.

“We stand in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings in Gaza and those among our community who are directly and indirectly affected by the current war and genocide by the Israeli settler-colonial regime. Passive observation of the horrors of bombings, genocide, and prolonged apartheid is not our way. We must rise and firmly proclaim that Palestinian Liberation is a Feminist Imperative.” – Feminists for Jina Seattle
